> Microsoft releases Millennium Beta 1. No, really
>
> Microsoft Corporation has signed off on Millennium Beta 1, this time for
> real: In a message to technical beta testers and partners, the company has
> declared that last Friday's build, which was previously identified as Beta 1
> by Microsoft's marketing team, is in fact Beta 1. Millennium improves on
> Windows 98 Second Edition, which it will replace when it is released next
> year, in the following four key categories:
>
> * "It just works" -- Millennium is easier to use,
> allowing customers to get the most out of their
> computer.
>
> * Digital media and entertainment -- Millennium is
> designed to facilitate the production, playback,
> storage of digital media, such as music, video,
> and graphic imagery. Millennium will also be the
> ultimate gaming operating system.
>
>
> * Home networking -- Millennium will make it easy
> to networking multiple computers together at
> home.
>
> * Online experience -- Millennium will make it
> easier to access the Web and find the information
> that users want.
>
> Millennium is the first operating system to support the next generation of
> PC, known as the "Easy PC," which will provide a platform that is easy to
> setup, use, and upgrade. Easy PCs can take advantage of next generation
> hardware such as USB (and USB 2), FireWire/IEEE-1394, Device Bay, and more.

> "The Consumer Windows Division is focused on truly making computing easy for

> But Millennium will not "change the face of computing" as one Web-based
> conjecture piece concludes. What it will do is offer a logical update to
> Windows 98 by providing the best of the Windows 2000 look and feel along
> with some HTML-based user interface elements that were previously thought to
> be the province of Neptune, the Consumer Windows release that will follow
> Millennium. And the Activity Centers in Millennium, including the Help
> Center, Photo Center, and Media Center, will be fully covered and explained
> on my Windows SuperSite, along with a massive review of Beta 1, sometime in
> the next week:

> SysInternals readies NTFS for Windows 98
>
> Thanks to the intrepid editors at Beta Bites for the tip. Mark Russinovich
> and Bryce Cogswell of SysInternals are now providing the beta release of
> NTFS for Windows 98, a file system driver that allows users of Windows 98
> and Windows 98 to access volumes formatted with the NTFS file system used in
> Windows NT and Windows 2000. This incredible tool (that frankly should be
> provided by Microsoft anyway) allows users of dual-boot systems to access
> NTFS drives by simulating the Windows NT environment the NTFS driver is
> written to use. So NTFS for Windows 98 doesn't attempt to reverse engineer
> NTFS, introducing potential bugs: Instead, it uses the NFTS system files
> that Microsoft has already provided.
>
> As you might expect, this is a brilliant approach. The beta version of this
> utility offers full read and write capabilities until October 31, 1999.
> After that, you must purchase the registered version.
>
> For more information and a free download of the beta, please visit the
> SysInternals Web site:

> New MSN search goes online
>
> Microsoft Corporation unveiled its new MSN Search page, which uses new
> technology to provide a smarter set of search results than most search
> engines on the Web. Though I've found Copernic 99 to be the ultimate search
> engine, the MSN Search page isn't bad for a freebie and it's certainly head
> and shoulders above any of the other Web-based tools.
>
> Check it out yourself and decide: The new MSN Search page is now live on the
> Web (http://search.msn.com/).

> Microsoft offers six free Windows 2000 courses
>
> Microsoft Corporation announced this week that it will be offering six free
> Windows 2000 training courses in over 250 locations worldwide during October
> and November. The courses, offered under the direction of the TechNet
> program, will help individuals learn how to deploy, manage, support and
> optimize Windows 2000, with emphasis on networking issues and Windows NT
> migration.
>

> "How to design a Windows 2000 Server networking infrastructure and
> interoperate with Windows NT Server 4.0," "How to migrate your Windows NT
> 4.0 directory services to Windows 2000 Active Directory," "How to
> effectively use Windows Terminal Services from Windows 2000 Server in your
> organization," "How to set up a reliable Web server using Internet
> Information Server 5.0 and Windows 2000," and "How to create secure,
