Thanks to Robert Rolnick for the tip: Apparently Microsoft representativesare making the rounds at user group meetings this month, verifying theWindows 2000 release schedule I've mentioned previously in WinInfo. Amongthe information that Rolnick was able to gather:

  • Beta 3 will RTM on April 21st. The representative said that the build number for Beta 3 is 2000.3, but I think he was confusing this with Beta 3 RC1.

  • The Golden Master of the final release of Window 2000 will RTM on (or within a week of) October 7th.

Nothing new, per se, but it's at least another confirmation from Microsoftof the information we've already received
