Any MICROSOFT techies out there? What I'm interested in is: can MSFT solve the NT scability problem, and if so, when? I am an Oracle consultant, and sooner or later, that old tired dog, UNIX, is going to get pushed aside. VMS was/is the best operating system ever, but DEC failed to make it a standard. NT now has the best shot, but, as INTC processors get more powerful, people are putting bigger and bigger apps on Intel boxes. NT does not use dual processors very well, and after that, you're wasting your money adding more processors. NT is the fastest growing MSFT product, but it's going to hit the wall unless it becomes scalable.
Anybody got a line on this? |
