Well, if .gr is greece, it appears that a ban of win2000 will be enforced in Europe
as of Mon 3. April and to July 1.  You may be able to get hold of it for a few days
after apr 3rd but probably not for long.  I expect some companies panicing and 
bying what's left.

Also, as mentioned in another post.  Win2000 is not the next version of win95/98,
but rather the next version of Win NT (NT 5.0).  There will be a new version for
win95/98 later.  Don't know when.  Personally, Win95 works great for me, and I
never even considered upgrading to win98, and win2000 is definitely out of the
question due to horrible dos emulation (I suppose there is something about 
growing up with DOS 5 and no Win 3.0)
