Twister of course it's buggy. Didn't you hear about the fiasco where W2k was writing over the password files and prohibiting access to even the administrator. MS rushed out with and emergency bulletin to prevent administrators from upgrading under certain condition. The press release said, " In order to prevent any more of these tragic occurrences." Bug fix to follow once they figure out what the bug is. Driver support from the big third parties is still weak. They don't want to bother writing code until the first SP is out. Does that thing you bought have RMBS in it? david

didn't you also say w2k would be buggy? a zillion lines of new code? <G> It wasn't me who said this: Government Said To See Big Flaws In Microsoft's Settlement Offer WASHINGTON (Dow Jones)- Government lawyers consider an 11th-hour offer from Microsoft Corp. to settle its antitrust trial so inadequate in key areas that there are no immediate plans to resume negotiations with the company in Chicago, sources told the Associated Press Saturday. Dow Jones Newswires reported that Microsoft (MSFT) offered, among other things, to split its Internet browser software off from its dominant Windows operating-systems software. The offer, which Microsoft faxed Friday, is so complex that some of the Justice Department's top technical experts are evaluating it. ...and etc. So complex the government's top experts need to evaluate it? What could it be? A list of files? We'll publish bugz1.c, but not bugz2.h? Now that the horse is gone, and in fact dead and eaten, it's an offer to paint the barn door. But not to close it.<g> --QS
