Windows 3.X is flawed and unscalable, Win95 is flawed and unscalable, and soon we will realize that NT is no different.

The Sun vision of computing attempts to remove as much complexity
from the client as possible. This is necessary for commodization. Since the number of clients vastly outnumbers the number of
servers, isn't this the way it must be? It certainly is the way the public telephone network works.

When the telco companies upgrade their services every phone device would require an upgrade too. Pretty nonsensical, isn't it?
