No no. I'm sure Win2k is all it's said to be. Not quite what was originally promised to all of corporate America, but, a good product. --- What's happened though in the time everyone's been waiting for it is that the OS has become FREE (no money). --- It's not so much a quality thing (talking primarily in the 'desktop' context here). The issue is that they're *charging 'old time' prices for it. Then too, the issue is that MS operates in such a chronic embrace and extend proprietary mindset which contrasts more heavily with each passing day to 'open standards'. -JCJ

I really look forward to the day, when Windows 2000 supports more than 256 colors... My wallpaper doesn't look good on terminal services.
