“However, industry impressions based on preliminary Windows 2000

“”So far it looks OK but we really haven’t run it in anger,”
said Con Zymaris, CEO of systems integrator Cybersource. “There’s a
fair bit of technology in it. Some of it is a reaction to problems
with NT such as .dll [program file] management. It seems to run
best in an exclusive Windows 2000 environment, so many features
might not see the light of day in a real-world mixed
environment…””
“But in the long run, the amount of work to run a Unix box
is less than NT. Someone has yet to show me a Windows 2000 box that
has been running for a year-and-a-half. But with Linux, the
underlying technology is all there, all you have to do is glue it
all together.”
