Most definitely yes, as long as you haven't been exposed to the
unreleased software under non-disclosure. Given that Windows 2000 has
been in open beta for some time, and is commonly mentioned in the press,
I'd say in my best "I'm not a lawyer" tone of voice to go for it.
If you are privy to prerelease versions of a hush-hush product under some
kind of non-disclosure agreement, I'd say to talk to your company lawyers
first. Of course, given Microsoft's habit of preannouncing their products
by several years (often in advance of commencing development), that
shouldn't be a problem with versions of Windows.
Hope this helps,
