I would be interested in why you think VAX VMS rhetoric is "silly"... Because the fundamental design philosophies of the two architectures are so different. No doubt VAX VMS (and NT) have their place (I had a Bitnet address). It's just not on the portable minded, heterogeneous modern network computing environment which is the internet. IMO, M$ is trying to pound a square peg into a round hole The Unix Philosophy book doesn't come out and say these things. It's just that once you realize what's at the CORE of each respective OS architecture, you realize why the internet runs on Unix. Here's an overview of the main points of the book... cs.tcd.ie Also, Nick Petreley wrote a piece (actually 3 pieces) about two years ago in NetWorld mag that for me was quite enlightening, to do with these two architectures. I'll try to find the link(s). -JCJ
