Microsoft President and CEO Steve Ballmer kicked off the launch party recognizing the early shortcomings of the operating system right off the bat.

Windows World/COMDEX keynote showcases growing momentum, breadth of Windows plat

General 8068 Published by Philipp Esselbach 0

Only two months after the launch of Microsoft:registered: Windows:registered: 2000, the operating system is going strong.

Yesterday at Windows World 2000 and COMDEX/Spring 2000, Microsoft announced it has licensed more than 1.5 million copies of Windows 2000 Professional, Windows 2000 Server and Windows 2000 Advanced Server since the Feb. 17 launch. That's four times the licensing rate of Windows NT:registered: Server 4.0, and the figure doesn't include volume licensing for Microsoft's largest customers around the world. Meanwhile, data from Netcraft shows that Windows 2000 is the operating system for more 64,000 Web sites-more than triple the number of sites running Windows 2000 at its launch. Industry momentum behind Windows 2000 is also apparent in new products such as a multiprocessor Windows 2000 server with 99.999 percent availability and a Windows DNA-based online bidding application for manufacturing.

If you delete the partition, create it again, and assign a new drive letter, you won´t see the previously assigned drive letter in the available drive list until you reboot the system.

Windows Leads Charge as Platform of Choice

General 8068 Published by Philipp Esselbach 0

Tod Nielsen, vice president of the Platform Group at Microsoft Corp., today addressed the Windows:registered: World 2000 and COMDEX/Spring 2000 audience and announced that Microsoft has licensed over 1.5 million copies of Windows 2000 Professional, Server and Advanced Server in the two months since launch, four times the rate of Windows NT:registered: 4.0.

This milestone includes estimates from channel resellers, retail outlets and PC manufacturers but doesn´t include licenses acquired through enterprise agreements from Microsoft´s largest customers around the world. Even with so many customers using Microsoft:registered: Windows 2000, product support volume is remaining low, and the number of support calls per unit is the lowest in the history of Windows operating systems, evidence of the high quality and reliability of the products. In addition, Nielsen announced that the latest data from Netcraft reveals that more than 64,000 Web sites are using Windows 2000 as their hosting solution, surpassing operating systems such as AIX, HP-UX, MacOS and NetWare, and representing more than triple the 20,000 sites that were running the operating system at the launch on Feb. 17.
