“Microsoft today released the second beta of Windows 2000
DataCenter, the high-end version of the company’s new operating
system.”
“The DataCenter version of Win 2000 has been touted as a
Unix-killer and is designed to push Microsoft into the high-end
server market.”
“Beta 2 will be the last beta before Microsoft develops a
release candidate for final testing, in preparation for shipping
the server later this summer, according to Michel Gambier, group
product manager for DataCenter. The software was originally
expected to ship 90 to 120 days after the Feb. 17 launch of the
other three Win 2000 products, Professional desktop, Server and
Advanced Server. DataCenter will likely ship in July or early
August.”
