Microsoft Corp. is extending the pilot program that allows its top U.S. enterprise clients to have access to the Windows 2000 source code.
Microsoft's field sales, support and consulting staff were recently informed of the initiative, to be known as the Enterprise Source Licensing Program, under which those enterprise corporate customers with at least 1,500 Windows 2000 licenses will be offered access to the source code.
Steve Lipner, Microsoft's lead program manager for the .Net server group, said Monday night that Microsoft had initiated a pilot program late last summer whereby it licensed the Windows 2000 server and client source code to a group of enterprise customers.
