oCe schrijft: "De Technical Beta van Windows Whistler, de opvolger van zowel Windows2000 en WindowsME is begonnen aan zijn Technical Beta.

"[It's] a new product, a new line of products, Windows.NET, where the .NET technologies are infused into Windows, and we sell servers as we do today, we license clients as we do today, we license the .NET technology for other devices, whether those run Windows or do not run Windows," said Microsoft president and CEO Steve Ballmer earlier this month. "It's important in Windows.NET to start putting in elements of the [Dot NET] user interface, elements of the [Dot NET] programming model, tightly and nicely integrated into the Windows product, at the client level and over time at the server level." Ballmer notes that Windows.NET will ship "next year"; internally, the company expects to ship it in Q2 2000.
Al heel snel na Millennium en 2000 gaat dit dus uitkomen, als Microsoft de releasedatum ook haalt.
