Dell offers free Windows 2000 upgrades

Dell Computer today will begin offering free upgrades to Windows 2000 for every computer ordered with Windows NT 4.

While Dell isn't the first PC manufacturer to offer a free Windows 2000 upgrade, it is the first to span the entire PC line - laptops, desktops, and workstations.

Microsoft is not expected to ship its next-generation operating system to PC manufacturers before the end of year. The software is in the final stages of testing, with Release Candidate 2 due for shipment within the next two weeks.
