Nope.
Seeing as Win2K has now gone RTM I am hoping that there will be a fix
very, very, very soon...

DB and Win2000 don't go well together at this point. Patch is awaited.
Has

Yes,
we have. Until there is a patch, we do not recommend using
Drumbeat
with Windows 2000.

Jeff,
Kind
of begs the question "When can we expect a patch?". I don't
expect a specific date, but how about "within a month, within two
months, or Q3 this year",
etc.
Thanks,
Kev

There
has been no announcement on when (or even if) this will appear; I,
like you and many other Drumbeat users, would like to see it sooner
rather than
later.
I'll continue to do all I can here to make that happen. Was that vague
enough for you? :-)

Does
Macromedia think this is a Windows 2000 problem, or put another way,
is Macromedia waiting for a Windows 2000 patch that will enable
Drumbeat
to
run on Windows 2000?
Thanks,
L.

I
answered this question below; we think it is a Drumbeat 2000
problem.
See my other reply for more detail.
Also
we have this technote (which will need to be updated on the 17th):

What
is Macromedia's position on the incompatibility of Drumbeat and
Windows 2000?
Is
our company waiting for a Drumbeat 2000 patch from Macromedia or does
Macromedia see this as a Microsoft Windows 2000 problem requiring a
Windows
2000 patch from Microsoft?
Regards,
Leif

No,
we see it as a Drumbeat 2000 problem requiring a Drumbeat patch; this
won't happen right away, though; these things do take time and your
patience
is
appreciated. I think this is the third time I've answered this
question for you, by the way, so let me know if I'm not addressing it
in some way that you're
expecting
it to be addressed. (Obviously we all want to see a patch and as soon
as possible!)
Also,
not that it helps any, but Drumbeat isn't the only program that is
incompatible with Windows 2000. AutoCad, Lotus Notes 5 and others I
hear need to
be
patched as well.
For
a list of compatible programs, you can visit Microsoft's website:

Nice
Tea:
If
you must use Windows 2000 on your development machine, you'll need to
switch to Visual Interdev for the time being; no announcement has been
made
about
when (or if) a Drumbeat 2000 patch will be made
available.

Re: Any news on Win2k version ?

Daniel:
We
have no further news on the topic yet.
From
what I've seen on the newsgroups, the people who have used it
successfully are either a) only publishing to a server with IIS 5 but
authoring on another
machine
without Windows 2000 installed or b) working with an earlier beta of
the OS.
