The particular statement on the more than 63,000 possible problems allegedly coming from Marc Lucovsky, one of the Windows development leaders. Microsoft's Prefix tool had discovered these potential problems. Of these, Microsoft supposedly has estimated that 28,000 could turn out to be real problems. Phibbs, however, dismissed these reports. I'm not aware of that memo.
Every time there's a product release, there are always reports of problems.
There are no problems. In the Philippines, Phibbs said that the Philippine Long Distance Telephone Co., Globe Telecom and Edsamail are already running Windows 2000, while Ayala Corp. is already evaluating both the Professional and Server editions. Though noting that it was still to early to tell because of the hype surrounding the launch, he said that the BIR's technical team is evaluating Windows 2000 Professional. He said that the BIR's failed bidding Feb. 11 for its Windows licenses might have turned out to be a blessing in disguise, as the original specifications had called for Windows 98 on the desktop. So maybe now we'll delay our decision and look seriously at Windows 2000 Professional.
