[nigelj]

Go on then. I'll be first :<br>
Does anybody else here think that this new Feb 2000 release date will actually be .. ? and has anyone tested a beta, is it any good?

 

[jsauce]

Yes I beta tested it. The official release date is Feb 17, 2000.<br>
<br>
I think its a really good cross between Windows NT and Windows 98. <p>John D. Saucier<br><a href=mailto:jsauce@net1plus.com>jsauce@net1plus.com</a><br><a href=

Yes your right, Its a bit cleaner than Win98 and the management consoles are kinda trying to be &quot;everything to everybody&quot; &lt;shrug&gt; but they work and within the limits of Microsoft allownaces for Admins to be allowed to tailor things also including the limits that MS GUI applications put on users/admins they provide the tools and facilities basically required. Its a bit resource hungry during heavy maintenance sessions and major changes but then again so can many Unix systems.

Is it stable though, and what is the compatibility like with 98/95/NT?<br>
<br>
Anyone tested it with Macintoshes? Have they cured the TCPIP problem that stops Macs getting onto NT via TCPIP due to SMB issues?

 

[jsauce]

I'd say its compatibility with 9x is about 95% and NT 99%. As for the MAC is issue, I have not tested it yet. <p>John D. Saucier<br><a href=mailto:jsauce@net1plus.com>jsauce@net1plus.com</a><br><a href=
