Ten Things to Love About Windows 2000: 1. No more software compatibility questions - because nothing's compatible. 2. In continuous daily testing since mid-1997, so you know it's old. 3. Blue Screen of Death now a lovely teal. 4. No long lines at CompUSA this time. 5. 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.' 6.Two words: Solitaire 2000. 7.Lots of extra free software for registered users , in fact, the first two security patches are already available. 8.Still in the marketing plan: The first 1,000 buyers get a pair of tickets to the 1998 Super Bowl. 9. No truth to rumors that all major warning messages now display Janet Reno's face. 10. Bill Gates was so impressed he resigned before the official launch. Ten Unused Windows 2000 Marketing Slogans: 1.Go ahead, take your time with it. We did. 2.Big fins, giant chrome grille , it's the operating system of the future! 3.Where do you want to go in 1998? 4.Official operating system of Seinfeld. 5.Forty million lines of new code , same old Microsoft quality. 6.Y2k may have been a dud, but this one's the real McCoy. 7.Honest, judge, it's completely unrelated to any other products with Windows in the name. 8.From the people who brought you that idiotic talking paper clip. 9.We put the dot in operating-dot-system. 10.Forget Linux, Lynux or Leenux , at least you know how to pronounce Windows 2000.
