How embarrassing. MSNBC has published a BugNet "Top 10 reasons you do not want to install the [Microsoft] Office 2000 SR-1," while very decently and reputably stressing that "Microsoft is a partner in MSNBC." Under the circumstances we could almost forgive MSNBC for the strange and sudden disappearance of the somewhat negative story about MS exec Joachim Kempin it unpublished back in December.

On April 3, the software giant will announce Open License 5, a newly developed program designed to make it easier for solution providers and partners to sell into the small and midsize business markets.
As part of that initiative, Microsoft (stock: MSFT) will unveil Open Business, a licensing program that allows small business customers to license products in smaller quantities and mix and match products on single orders to achieve discounts. For example, a small business will be able to buy two licenses of Windows 2000, two Office 2000 licenses, and a third BackOffice license on one purchase order to secure licensing discounts of between 5 percent and 10 percent, sources said.

NCR´s Teradata relational database has posted the first-ever one terabyte data warehouse performance benchmark on Microsoft Windows 2000. The performance result is on the Transaction Processing Performance Council (TPC) TPC-R benchmark, which measures how well databases handle data-warehouse and decision-support workloads with multiple, concurrent users submitting complex queries. The combination of Windows 2000 Server and Teradata performed multiple-stream workloads of 21,254 composite queries per hour. That´s a result that shows companies will soon be able to take advantage of unparalleled scalability, availability and manageability.
