I have received a e-mail from a reader who says his company has received notice that Microsoft has asked them to stop immediately the shipment dual-boot systems running Win2k/WinXP. That means that XP is the only choice.
What there reasons for this is, I have no idea. The reader suggest that they think that MS knows that Win 2k will last companies a very long time and want to insure a continued revenue stream thru the progression of the next generation of operating systems revolving around Win XP
If anyone else has heard this I would like some e-mail in my in-basket to fully understand there move on this one. After all Win 2k is pretty awesome maybe they are afraid Corporate America will be content for a few years with Win 2k and are trying to dry up the source of new computers shipped with the product.
