It was with some degree of hope that I tried HP´s new top of the range CD rewriter, the $299 9510i. A 12x write, 8x rewrite and 32x read internal IDE drive, this one comes with Win 9x and Win2K drivers. It even says it supports Win 2K on the box.

The first .Net products, Visual Studio.NET and Whistler, are due sometime next year. But Microsoft says that a full implementation of its .NET strategy won´t be ready until 2002-2003, when a future version of Windows, code-named Blackcomb, finally ships. And Blackcomb, previously an unknown element in this strategy, is shaping up to be a major release with new features and a new user interface.

I´ve been playing with Windows Millennium Edition (Me) for more than three months, and I´m not happy. Microsoft tells me that Me really is for the home, not for business. Sorry guys, but I don´t want it in my study or my office.

3dfx Gamers has posted up an interview with Scott Sellers of 3dfx interactive.
Microsoft CEO and president Steve Ballmer this week told attendees at the European IT Forum 2000 in Monaco that the full .NET user experience is still 2-3 years away, making it likely that it will be delivered in a future version of Windows currently known only by the codename Blackcomb. Ballmer, who addressed the crowd via a satellite link from Redmond, said that Microsoft was working as quickly as it could to deliver a version of Windows that fully supports its new .NET technologies, but that this would have to be phased in over the next two versions. The next version of Windows, code-named Whistler, will feature a subset of the .NET technologies, while Blackcomb, due in the 2002-2003 timeframe, according to Ballmer, will be the first full .NET release, including the new user interface, which the company refers to as the .NET user experience.

In the not-too-distant future, Microsoft is likely to issue a press release stating that Windows Me is one of the fastest-selling programs of all time. And there´s a good reason for that: Windows 98 already is effectively toast.
Although Microsoft will officially continue to sell Windows 98, the 2-year-old operating system is already in the grip of a quick death. Computer manufacturers have stopped bundling the older operating system on computers in favor of Windows Me, and history shows that this means retail sales of the software will dry up quickly.
