<<It's unbelievable, isn't it. I feel embarassed for people when they claim that NT will take over the UNIX market, push Mainframes out of the enterprise, etc.. etc..<< <<My guess is that, in general, these people have no exposure to high-performance, high-reliability computing systems They have been playing solitare on Windows for almost 10 years now and recently heard that Windows may replace "Big Iron". Well, I imagine that it is a comforting thought for these people to imagine that they can play solitare there, too. Something they can understand. Something tangible.<< I think this kind of arrogant attitude will ensure micrsoft's sucess in the enterprise. " People buy microsoft software because they are stupid! ofcourse desktops are for stupid people anyway, but big iron is run by computer scientists and micrsoft can never pull the wool over their eyes!. A business buys micrsoft software (desktop or back office) because in many cases microsoft offers more bang for the buck. Microsoft's enterprise solutions are not perfect yet, but the rate at which they are catching up is amazing. There , i got that of my chest! No offence meant regards
