s/$/ With the fast-growing acceptance and enthusiastic reception of
Windows 2000 (tm), we expect that as deployments of this new
Flagship Operating System (tm) continue to accelerate, we will
be researching the administrative feasibility of managing the
DNS ourselves, via the breakthrough Active Directory (tm)
architecture built-in to Windows 2000 (tm). It is obvious that
although ICANN apparently has had (and continues to have, as
demonstrated by this incident) problems managing DNS, the
unparalleled power, stability, and low Total Cost of Ownership (tm)
features of Windows 2000 (tm) and its Active Directory (tm)
component and the ease-of-administration that they bring
can alleviate these issues once and for all. We already know
that many technical experts of the highest qualifications have
agreed that the benefits of Microsoft DNS (tm), powered by
Active Directory (tm) on Windows 2000 (tm) will elevate this
function to ever-higher levels of speed, ease-of-use, reliability,
and most importantly, compatibility with the overwhelming majority
of Windows (tm) computers, without question the most popular
Operating System environment (tm) for our Global Computing
Information Infrastructure (tm (tm)). /
