Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain There is, however, one significant difference: stability. If Microsoft starts making stable products, we might just as well start using them, but knowing Microsoft, I'm not overly worried. -----Original Message----- Sent: Thursday, February 01, 2001 2:33 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L I would disagree with that, how is Windows becoming like Unix? -----Original Message----- Welch Sent: Thursday, February 01, 2001 2:01 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L The same prediction was made at least 5 years ago. At the rate Microsoft is going, Windows will be a direct form of Unix. It becomes more like it with every release. -Rocky "Mohan, Ross" wrote: Yea, but...... Win2K Datacenter will just decimate Unix. I predict that, in 5 years, there will be two or three Unix vendors, fighting over the 45% of the market that DataCenter hasn't eaten. -----Original Message----- Sent: Thursday, February 01, 2001 1:01 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Close. It's Dave Cutler. There's too much old DOS/Windows backward compatibility for WinNT/2000 to achieve stability like VMS despite Cutler's leadership. I knew VMS and you, Mr. NT, are no VMS!
