I feel windows2000 corporate upgrade is picking up. I spent Saturday night dining with managers at 6 companies. 2 said they are rolling out windows2000 this Q. 2 said they will do that in first half of 2001 and the other 2 said they will roll out in 2001 (wihtout specific date). But interestingly, all six plan to complete roll-out sometime in the next 12 months. Also I think ES7000 is gaining traction if you read what UIS is saying. "Some vendors claim strong interest and increasing sales demand. At Unisys, vice president and general manager of enterprise server business Pete Samson points to revenue orders for more than 160 systems in 23 countries for the ES7000 platform. Thirty percent are new customers for Unisys, and 15 percent represent new contracts with existing clients. “Toyota is using it to drive their Web site,” Samson says. “And Pennsylvania National Insurance in Harrisburg is using it to give info to independent agents over the Internet.”
