Hi all,

This university is taking all its servers down on saturday to do y2k
testing. I'll let you know what happens.

To be perfectly honest, Microsoft's "it's not a bug, it's a feature"
attitude makes me uneasy: when a company describes bug fixes as service
patches and coyly says certain software is y2k compliant with "minor"
issues, and has, at this late date, still not dealt squarely with the
issue, one has to think about Unix or Novell as safer alternatives

---------------- original message

For me, I think it would be better to deploy Windows 2000 tomorrow and
start dealing with the bug reports NOW.

Or, just fix what is there right now (SP4 or SP5) and don't even think
about Windows 2000 until sometime in 2001.

Has anyone out there actually moved the clock forward on their server to
"see" what would happen?

Who wants to do the first test? Any volunteers.

Pat Kelly McCarthy
