Costa, a couple more things I wanted to add but my time ran out,
Not only NDS on AIX, but the NC, and remember in the networking area LAN Server is a competitor, but the offerings are on Warp Connect (OS/2) -- Draw your own conclusions on that one. Then you have NCSP with it's stab at a makshift NOS and Groupware (Collabra), are not in the same leauge (IMO) as Notes, Exchange or Groupwise. ORCL and SUNW would dearly love to see billyboy sink <g>, and poor old DEC is just taking handouts (and is beholdin' to Redmond now -- remember MSFT eats its children).
So, if that's cryptic <g>, so be it. But there's a lot of ... ummm "possibilities out there to put together, and it ain't just NTS/SQL Server, Exchange and Internet Explorer <heh!>. And I say this as I browse thru the MSFT annual report that I received in the mail yesterday. Hmmm... Dear shareholder, You are cordially invidted to attend the annual meeting of shareholders of Microsoft Corporation which will be held at the Meydenbauer Center ... on November 12, 1996.. blah blah. Geez what a hypocrite I am, right David? <VBG>.
I still wanna see them get thier asses kicked!!!!
