Any recalcitrants want to argue that MS doesn't support gaming on Windows 2000? This is the first update released for Windows 2000!

Yeah, but if you are using a Matrox card, it won't do you any good. Matrox's W2K drivers are just too damned unstable to do anything. All they do is lock machines up. NT users are non-existant to Matrox...Good luck...

FrontPage 98 indeed! Now that MS has decided to delay Visual Studio 7 until next year, Frontpage 98 remains the default editor in NT Server 4 and Visual InterDev. Most of the functionality of FrontPage 2000 was supposed to be in Word 2000, but it didn't happen, so FrontPage 2000 remains a necessary, but sort of futureless product.
