MICROSOFT'S NT Terminal Server Edition (TSE) is under fire yet again after the company ADMITTED THE PRODUCT IS STILL NOT YEAR 2000 COMPLIANT, despite having already issued a Y2K patch. TSE, which has faced a barrage of criticism from both analysts and users for its high licensing costs, was released non compliant in mid 1998. Microsoft promised Year 2000 fixes first in September and then December, neither of which were delivered. According to industry analysts Gartner Group, Microsoft "quietly" posted a set of Year 2000 hot fixes for TSE in January this year, but has now admitted these are inadequate. webserv.vnunet.com ============================================================ But I thought Bill Gates was gonna fix this whole Y2K problem! Gee ... they've already missed their first two deadlines. Guess this stuff is a little more complicated than some (even Bill Gates) thought. Perhaps Cheeky can give Microsoft some tips to speed-up the process. Cheryl
