Have you begun your migration from NT to Win2k or XP, or better yet, have you finished it? What were your most significant challenges? Did you use any third party tools to make the transition? What did you find most difficult? What would you tell Microsoft to do differently? Please take a few minutes to share your thoughts with the rest of us. I'm looking forward to meeting you, learning about your experiences, and finding out what's on your mind. >>CLICK to go to Bill's migration discussion: http://searchwin2000.discussions.techtarget.com/WebX?[EMAIL PROTECTED]^[email protected]/800!viewtype=threadDate&skip=&expand= =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= FEATURED TOPIC | Can Windows and Linux coexist?

A new financial news Web site, Marketwrapunwrapped.com, gives your imagination a break, baring more than just the facts. Instead of Louis Rukeyser, you get Cindy, Georgie, Kelly and Lisa. Instead of Brooks Brothers or Armani, you get Victoria's Secret and Frederick's of Hollywood. Yep, four scantily clad sheilas wrap up the day's financial news on this Aussie Web site for sore eyes. By the time they're done with the naked truth, the girls are truly naked. Think of it as CNBC meets the Spice Channel with a dash of Hooter's thrown in.
