Subject:                 Windows 2000 RTM Now Available - Upgrade Today

About 85% of MS employees are already using Windows 2000!  If you have been waiting for RTM to upgrade, now is the time!   The RTM version of Windows 2000 is build 2195 and is now available at http://ITGWeb/Windows2000.

 

The calendar rolls to the year 2000 in another week and a half.  Upgrading to Windows 2000 gets you one step closer to preparing your desktop for January 1st!  Below are other reasons to upgrade to Windows 2000:

 

Faster and Better

Windows 2000 is the desktop standard at M?crosöft.  It combines the simple user experience of Windows 98 with the power and security of NT.  Windows 2000 performance is on average 25% faster than Windows 98 and with its full 32-bit architecture, you can run more programs and perform more tasks at the same time.

 

Work Anytime, Anywhere

With Windows 2000 Professional, mobile users can stay productive offline and not miss a minute when reconnecting to the network.  Files are kept up-to-date so you can work offline as if you were still connected.

 

Improved Reliability and Support

Windows 2000 supports self-repairing applications like Office 2000, Plug and Play, USB and power management, all of which allow you to install hardware and applications with ease.

 

Easy to Upgrade

If you’re already using a previous version of Windows 2000 Professional, upgrade to RTM using IntelliMirror Application Publishing.  Just go to Add/Remove Programs in your Control Panel, select “Add New Programs” on the left menu and scroll down to select Windows 2000 Professional RTM. 

 

Not using Windows 2000 yet?  Go to http://ITGWeb/Windows2000 and select “Upgrade Now”.  It’s that easy! 

Want more information before upgrading?  See http://ITGWeb/Windows2000 for online training and a series of five brief Windows Media presentations on how you can get the most from Windows 2000.
