Listing towards WIN2K By Frank Hayes 02/08/2000 What?s left to say about Win2k? After truckloads of hype and counterhype, after years of vendor tests and customer trials, after countless articles explaining what will be there and endless exposes of what will be missing ? is there anything worth saying still unsaid about Windows 2000? Could be. But while we?re waiting for any sign of it, the crack research team at Frankly Speaking Labs hasn?t lost sight of what IT professionals really need: wisecracks that will make the long, hoopla-filled wait a little more bearable. So this time, we do lists. And we don?t count backwards from 10, either. . . . computerworld.com Ten Things to Love About Windows 2000: No more software compatibility questions - because nothing's compatible. In continuous daily testing since mid-1997, so you know it's old. Blue Screen of Death now a lovely teal. No long lines at CompUSA this time. Since Active Directory was announced, lots of users have managed to get the flavor of its innovative "domain name" feature thanks to some obscure knockoff called ?the Internet. Two words: Solitaire 2000. Lots of extra free software for registered users, in fact, the first two security patches are already available. Still in the marketing plan: The first 1,000 buyers get a pair of tickets to the 1998 Super Bowl. No truth to rumors that all major warning messages now display Janet Reno's face. Bill Gates was so impressed he resigned before the official launch.
