If anyone hasn't heard this yet...

NT4.0 has it's first major bug.  Microsoft & the OEMs are trying to keep 
it kinda quiet.

Word came down Thursday morning first thing that NT4.0 has some sort of 
"Data Corruption Bug".  The OEM I work for has all NT4.0 systems on 
"Engineering Hold" and sales has been messaged to sell over to NT 3.51.  
M$ has it on stop ship as well the rest of the industry from what I 
understand.

Microsoft is supposed to be working the issue.  We've seen their first 
attempted patch for the issue; It made the problem worse (par for the 
course for M$).  

I don't know the details of what the bug is yet.  I've only had contact 
with the Marketing jackels over this so far--the engineers have been 
scarce.  

More info when I find out...
