Well I knew that the NT5 release date was going to sneak into 1st half of 2000. Looks like that prediction is becoming more evident. No one's rushing new NT version by John Saunders Network managers and industry watchers are taking a cautious approach when it comes to upgrading to Windows NT 5.0. Although the next version of Microsoft Corp.'s juggernaut operating system may not be available until 2000, observers say they can wait longer before implementing the product. Putting off the upgrade is a wise move, according to Michael Gartenberg, research director with Stamford, Conn.-based consultants Gartner Group Inc. He cites the delay in releasing the second beta-test version of NT as an indication of further setbacks in the future. The second trial phase of NT 5.0 was to have begun in the first half of 1998, Gartenberg says. Microsoft, however, held off until Aug. 18 to start sending the NT Workstation 5.0, NT Server 5.0 and NT Server 5.0 Enterprise Edition to more than 250,000 testers. "We do not believe that NT 5.0 is going to ship in calendar year 1999," he claims. "We think it's probably going to be delayed until at least the first half of the Year 2000." More importantly, he adds, the current release won't be a complete product. "It will generally be feature-complete, mostly feature-complete, kind of feature-complete, but if you pin them down on it you start discovering there's a lot of code that's unfinished. Or at least (it's) so rough that they're saying don't even bother testing it because it's not going to work." plesman.com Not good when Gartner Group starts talking about MSFT like this. Toy

Ken Starr quote: Oh, the White house sexual scandal is extended into the congress, I will be busy to death to write those SEX stories for those congressmen in the next few years. The Republican quote : Anyone dares to release the Republicans sexual stories to the public, we will order the FBI to conduct an investigation. However, we think people should have the righ to know every details of Mr. Clinton's sexual scandals, so we will release every details of the Ken Starr "XXX" report . However, people do not have the right to know my sexual scandal , as Republican congressmen, we will order the FBI to conduct an investigation if anyone dare to take the challenge. The Democrate quite : Well, everyone should have the right of privacy, including the personal sexual story, the president should have the same right. Pls just let the president concentrate his effort on the worldwide and national affairs, the world financial crisis, the economy, the social programs to help the elders, the poors...etc, pls do not bother the president with his love stories. People's quote : Well , the Republican probably know they won't have a chance in the year 2000's presidential election, and Clinton's love story is the only chance for them to win . So, the love stories start to fly. The love story will start from the white house, then the congress, then every corp, it is a good way to destroy your competitors, and political compressions. Mr. Starr should win the Nobel Prize of literacy of year 2000 for his famous "XXX REPORT ", the greatest love story of this century !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Enough is enough !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
