This may be the reason for part of today's move.... NT Terminal Server Shipment Problems Lead To Rumors Apr 06, 1999 (Tech Web - CMP via COMTEX) -- Confusion over the future of the Windows NT Server Terminal Server Edition (WTS) has led to speculation that it has been withdrawn from the market. But the software is safe and sound and is still shipping, despite resellerconcerns to the contrary, and Microsoft is eager to say its inability to manufacture copies of WTS does not indicate the termination of the software. The problem with the software is a result of Microsoft losing its court case with Sun Microsystems over Java -- in which Sun accused Microsoft' s J++ form of Java as incompatible with all systems -- and this led to Microsoft having to destroy a large amount of software, affecting its manufacturing. As a result, WTS is in short supply and resellers have been struggling to obtain copies. NCD -- a manufacturer of desktop computers that run with WTS -- said resellers had contacted it and asked if it had heard about WTS being killed off. Network Week contacted Microsoft U.K. to request a copy of the software for a review of NCD's latest software, which runs on top of WTS, and was told no copies were available. A spokeswoman confirmed there were shipment problems, but said WTS was still a shipping product and there were no plans to remove it. Microsoft has still to ship Service Pack 4 for WTS. It said the ship date for SP4 has not slipped, adding its plans for the software have always been to ship it by April.
