“For network managers, the most significant event of this year
may be 2000-related after all. Plumbing the depths of Windows 2000,

“While no cost breakdown is available, it is apparent from the
sheer volume of enhancements that a significant portion of the
effort went into communications and network functions. What was
changed? As a good friend of mine likes to say: ‘only
everything.’ “
“Net managers had better be prepared for some ‘different’
network behavior when they bring up Win 2000 clients and servers.
Nowhere have I seen a Microsoft document that addresses this
issue. My guess is Microsoft believes Win 2000 is so much
better that nobody is really concerned about the specifics.”
