It will be made available in SKUs similar to the current Windows 2000 Server.

Does certification still make sense?

That's the topic we tackle in this edition of Win2000Talk.
THE MISSING LINK
Mom, where did you put Merlin and Zork? Old games get new life on eBay
Got software that's as dated as one of George Hamilton's leisure suits? Excellent -- because vintage is good! One guy who's been collecting (hoarding) software for 20 years is blowing the dust off 250,000 titles and putting them up for auction on eBay. More than half of his apps came out before 1990, and many of them are games that were designed for Apple II, Amiga, Atari, Commodore 64, CP/M, Macs and other classic machines. Getting misty yet? Most of this rare software is in its original packaging and will be up for bid through Sept. 17.
