Introducing Windows 2000
Microsoft will soon be releasing its latest OS, Windows 2000 (Win2K). Is it worth the wait? In the Winter issue of Windows NT Magazine, we help you decide if this OS is right for you. We give you an overview of Win2K, including how it differs from Windows NT 4.0. We provide a glossary of Win2K terms and acronyms that you'll come across as you start to use the OS. We highlight Win2K's most anticipated new feature-Active Directory(AD). We discuss how to deploy Windows 2000 Professional (Win2K Pro). And we also update Win2K's security architecture.
