> huge array of services from TCP/IP to 3D make NT a far superior platfrom Also makes it a big fat pig. Why do I need 3D GL on my file server? I'd rather have complete server mirroring (SFT III), a global directory (NDS), excellent performance and plenty of third-party products to choose from. If I were a small shop that only needed a little bit of a server, then NT would work okay I suppose. For real networks though, you just can't beat NetWare. The horizontal-value proposition you are backing is the same as what you get when you buy a minivan. Although you can do a lot of a little with it, you can't do a lot of anything in particular. Vertical-value solutions are preferred by people who need to solve specific problems. For a small family, a minivan makes a good choice. But for United Van Lines, 18-wheelers work much better. For a small family, the minivan works okay for the occasional camping trip, but for real outdoorsmen, nothing beats a 4WD Jeep. Did you short Porsche when GM came out with the minivan? Why not? Why are you acting so differently about this, the exact same thing? > [Gates] may be considered a deity Oh. Well, that certainly explains it.
