Chances are that Microsoft will not release NT 5.0 until after the year
2000 as most companies are now adopting a policy of delaying major
updates so that they can manage problems associated with unexpected Y2K
bugs.

However, once MS are sure that buyers attention is no longer fixed
alsewhere you can expect a big release with the marketing for the server
product aimed not at the techies, but at senior managers instead. After
all, a great many Windows NT servers are in place now solely becasue the
board dictated that an MS 'solution' was teh only viable one after
reading the morning newspaper which just happened to contain ads and
articles all singing NTs praise.
