“Microsoft Conference attendees were plagued with shared
computer access issues on the Microsoft prepared and installed
Windows 2000 professional Network which utilized Compaq Pentium III
Deskpros. Attendees were assigned an id# and password from which
they could access e-mail, conference events and web access;
unfortunately it wasn’t quite that easy.”

“At the minimum this is an embarrassment for Microsoft and
should have been resolved prior to the conference kick off. Even
the typical Microsoft fanatics were more than a little
disgruntled.”

“After chatting with several companies planning their Windows
2000 migration and/or upgrade, we were told that the problems
encountered with the Microsoft installed and configured network had
raised numerous red flags in their minds, prompting one company to
refrain from moving forward until such a time that a multiple node
Windows 2000 network has been proved reliable and
useable.”
