paul - re: anyone who has implemented SAP on NT is seriously into pain. I beg to differ - in 1996, 10% of new SAP installations were on NT, now the number is about 60%. Not only are those folks not suffering serious pain, they actually have an advantage in a number of areas due to better integration with both SAP and third party tools for data mining and analysis, a weak spot in the "traditional" SAP design. SAP is pretty clear about which customers can get the benefits of the lower cost of NT based implementations, and which will have headroom problems, and the line keeps moving up. Currently, about 80% of the SAP base could run on NT, and about 55% are running on NT. If current trends continue (and there's no reason to think they won't), sales of new SAP systems will be dominated by Win2K by mid-2001, with Unix hanging on to the high end niche. If you had attended any of the recent SAP events you would have those numbers... the meta study is obviously looking at people on the upper cut line, not people in the bottom half quadrant.
