"The Emperor's New Clothes" - The PC Week tale. Once upon a time, the Windows 2000
developers team faced the threat that most non-Microsoft applications
and virtually all games does not work on NT aka Windows 2000 new
kernel. The problem is with DirectX, Plug and Play, PCMCIA and..
everything else.
What to do? Windows 2000 consists of server OS, the big fat pricy box
that helps sysadmins to centralize all bugs in the single place and
small client/consumer boxes where bleeding edge users try to run
uncertified applications, all at the same time! So why not to drop
few years of failed development and market old Windows 95 aka 98 box
as Windows 2000, Personal Edition? Looks like the Windows team finally
decided to do that. So, Windows 2000 is dead.. Long live
Windows 95!
