ICS is the feature which allows you to share a modem between several computers on a network. This means that you can, for instance, download files on one computer while surfing on another. It actually works without the special software that was previously required. Late last year, having been told by our Microsoft representative that WIN 2000 will be available in the fall of 99, we did not upgrade from WIN 95. It is getting difficult to purchase additional copies of WIN 95.
Nothing ever comes out on time or according to plan.
As for WIN 2000, I am convinced that it will not show until next year and all the problems with Y2K have run their course. Most corporations are up to their armpits in trying to fix millennium problems, real or imagined. MS is not delaying their software just to aggravate you. There are so many lines of software code involved that the problems are becoming practically unmanageable. It would be easy for MS to write a new and more stable operating system but they are faced with servicing millions of users with existing software.
