Cheers JimF from our forums comes this news, Windows 2000 was one of the most successful product launches in the history of Microsoft Corp. from a technical perspective. Most companies that have deployed it report being satisfied with its reliability, stability, security, and scalability.

But for a variety of reasons, many more IT organizations are still waiting - now a year since its launch - to deploy Windows 2000.
