RE: OT NT2K vs Unix.

Well, IBM has predicted so called "paperless office" in 5 years in the year ....1980. Paper manufacturers
did not seem very concerned at the time and, boy, are they thriving these days! Don't get me wrong, I like
Microsoft. In fact, I like Microsoft so much that I wish that there was more then one. Who knows, Santa or
the appellate court might grant my wishes. After all, I was a reasonably good boy during the last 4 quarters...

That's a good point, but who really knows?

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.

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!

With apologies to Senator Bentsen,

NT is based on VMS (talk about a real OS) and if my memory is good the guy's name is Cutter.

Do I win a toaster ? a microwave oven ? a palm-pilot ?
