Microsoft's products ran on and with a huge variety of extremely low-cost hardware and software. They are doing a fantastic job of migrating existing users from those simple business applicances to much more sophisticated devices with a greater emphasis on communications and networking. The primary feature is compatibility with the old systems. There aren't any other redeeming qualities as far as I can tell, but the compatibility-plus-new-stuff recipe is turning into an overnight (about 10 years on NT alone) success. What's my point? Well, whether or not NT is a poorly designed, badly written bucket of bolts is not SGI's problem and if they can make their software the best-of-breed on those systems they can feel good about having met the challenge. Plaster NT SUCKS posters all over the campus but use those sales to fund the development of real software for real computers.
