[...not as many companies as would be expected are as inclined to make the switch to these new products in light of the demand for resources for the Year 200 problem] Personally, I think it will be just the opposite with Y2K encouraging spending. Shops worried about the Y2K problem start looking at spending a lot of money to modify old code, and think, "jeez, if we're going to spend a lot of money anyway maybe we should just bite the bullet and modernize our operations."

>>Y2K Y2K is going to be a major headache for a lot of companies. However, there is a very strong need to upgrade OSes. This need will not diminish because of Y2K. All independent research firms think NT is going to be an extremely hot seller from the moment it ships. In any case, anticipation alone should drive the stock higher.
