Just got back from lunch with an old friend who is a great and reliable source on technology developments. He confirmed, in numerous ways, that Microsoft is way behind the eight ball when it comes to fixing the Y2K problems in their own products. In particular, he agrees that NT 4.0 has very serious problems. It is not clear that Microsoft will have them fixed early enough to avoid some nasty disruptions in corporate America. I share this because one of the worst assumptions about Y2K is that 'the new stuff' is fine. Microsoft does not look like they are going to volunteer the truth either - I still think that listing products as 'compliant' when they will need a software patch is intentionally misleading. Oh - major computer vendors are running......running....to Linux on the server side. That is where they see the market, servers running on Linux instead of Windows NT.
