MSFT B2B Microsoft VP opens Comdex with Win 2000 demos, Linux jokes By Dominique Deckmyn 04/18/2000 Tod Nielsen, vice president of Microsoft Corp.'s platform group, opened Comdex/Spring in Chicago this morning with a relaxed, upbeat keynote that extolled the virtues of Windows 2000, hinted at the forthcoming Next Generation Windows Services and joked about Linux. The opening keynote at Comdex/Spring, delivered last year by Bill Gates, was handed down to Microsoft Senior Vice President Jim Allchin this year. The little-known Nielsen was substituted for Allchin a few days before the show. Nielsen ran through a number of demonstrations of Windows 2000 and the forthcoming update of Windows 98, Window Me. He addressed the much-hyped business-to-business electronic marketplaces, claiming that despite appearances to the contrary, Microsoft is getting more than its share of that opportunity. Nielsen demonstrated a new, Windows-powered business-to-business marketplace for the process manufacturing industry, called ProcessPoint. ProcessPoint is based on Windows 2000, Microsoft Exchange and an early version of the company's BizTalk Server 2000, he said.
