RE: Are you using OS2 or WINDOWS friend, are those feet still in your throat?

The desktop is great, but MSFT understands that the enterprise is where the real money is. hence, NT 5.0 and ActiveDirectory services. IBM is one of the leading providers of Enterprise Servers and solutions. They have some of the best, fastest, and most scalable internet servers available. MSFT is not a credible enterprise player. How many SCP's are running NT? Zilch my friend. How many mission critical transaction servers (i.e. financial) are running NT? I am an NT application developer. I have been writing NT software for 4 years. NT is the best low-end, desktop OS available. As an enterprise platform, it stinks.

Most of those revenues are still in the MAINFRAME market
No, they are inthe enterprise solutions market. Have you checked out IBM's services revenues. And, the mainframe has been recast as a data server. IBM's mainframe business which was supposed to be dead, is now one of the most scalable internet information servers available. Question, which is better, being the dresktop OS, or being the backbone of the internet? Over time, MSFT will have to give away windows to compete. Meanwhile the infrastructure platforms will still command massive margins.
