Seem to be seeing demand for engineering tools on NT these days (normally Unix). Why?: I think what the market wants (really) is one environment (operating system) that does everything. NT clearly cannot do what Solaris,Irix and AIX etc do, so where do we go? Solaris & AIX both support Wabi (Windows Application Binary Interface), and Solaris also supports Mac applications through MAE. - So my money is on SUN with Solaris assuming that they continue to add Windows95/NT support, noting that it runs on Sparc [64 bit], Intel x86/Pentium, and Power-PC hardware. Not sure about HP's future in OS's - I've never liked their software much, but the hardware's OK, IBM's AIX is probably more likely to come in second in my opinion. DEC who? - But that's a long term view :-) Kev.
