Windows 2000 Enterprise Edition???

[Soterro]

Hello,

I'm NOT talking about Windows 2003.

What is that edition about? I've got a guy asking about the
compatibility with the Enterprise Edition (which apparently they are
running), and I was cornered here. The Microsoft site is not listing
such an edition, although I've seen people on Usenet talking about
such a name. A search on the Microsoft site revealed only 1 (one)
document which is having inside this 'windows 2000 enterprise edition'
term.

So, is there really an Enterprise edition of W2K around or it's just a
big confusion?

Thank you,
S

Windows 2000 does not have an "Enterprise Edition". They may be thinking of
Windows 2000 Advanced Server.
Windows NT 4.0 had an Enterprise Edition.

They are plainly stupid indeed. They said they have NT and W2000,
finally they ordered it for W2003 and installed it on XP.
