MSFT can'tdo that, because they don't write NT for any specific machine.However, NT is written to run mostly on PC's. Wrong. PC's aren't powerful enough for enterprise systems. What is your definition of a PC? MSFT doesn't really have the engineering talent to bring it off. That's why NT 5.0 completion dates have slipped again. They have a significant learning curve up in Redmond and it will take some time before they come up to speed. This is a seriously bad assumption. The guy who designed NT designed VMS (Dave Cutler?). It would be very bad to underestimate Microsoft's research and development talent.
