Windows 2000 Professional

As a long-time premier Microsoft Windows NT provider, Compaq continues to lead the way with
its commitment to Windows 2000 - from development through testing, to delivery and support.
To demonstrate that commitment, Compaq is investing resources in Microsoft proof-of-concept
laboratories to engineer and test Windows 2000 and will be among the first companies to deploy
Windows 2000 across the enterprise.
With this combined research and first-hand experience, Compaq continues to offer the best choice
of highly optimized and integrated solutions that increase reliability, improve manageability, and
result in a lower total cost of ownership.
Microsoft initiated the Deployment Program for Windows 2000 to create awareness and gain
practical feedback from customers on the deployment of Windows 2000 before actual release.
Customers who are participants in the Deployment Program have committed to be early adopters
of Windows 2000. They are actively evaluating and testing all early releases of the product in
their environment. The Deployment Program will help insure that the final release of Windows
2000 is robust and ready to deploy in corporate environments.
Compaq has been Microsoft's chosen premier platform partner in the development and
deployment of Windows 2000. Compaq provided equipment from portables to servers in the test
labs on the Microsoft campus and to the early participants in the Deployment Program. This
