LEAD STORY

GATES TAKES WRAPS OFF OF WINDOWS XP | searchWin2000 

Bill Gates' new bundle of joy may be the most important Windows
release in six years; a foundation of Microsoft's Web services plan.
But baby XP enters a world of jitters, pink slips, tight checkbooks,
bitter competition and watchful trust busters. What do you need to
know about XP? Should you even care? High-tail it to our featured
topic section on XP, and decide for yourself what the OS means to
you. Oh, and be sure to share your thoughts with us!

THE MISSING LINK | New play is a dotcomedy of manners 

As if there hasn't been enough dot-com drama over the last year, here
comes...a dot-com drama. "Ctrl+Alt+Delete" tells the tale of the
Internet boom and bust from 1998 to 2000 on a Silicon Valley stage.
The story may ring a large and loud bell: A geeky kid comes up with a
gadget, takes it public, makes a mint, then watches it all disappear
before he can say "market saturation." You may be saying "show me the
fiction!" since this play plays more like a digital age documentary.
But bundled into the plot is the question "what now?" Might be worth
a sequel...
