"NT still doesn't scale worth jack. There is no
way NT will be able to handle the requirements
of the large server market where Sun's UE10k,
SGI's Origin 2k and HP's V-class play."

Interestingly, I remember very clearly when people
used to say exactly the same thing about Solaris.
In 1992 it didn't even scale well to 4 cpus. The
whole scaling thing is a bad point to base any arguments
on because scaling to 16 processors requires no
magic, only some basic engineering. Things can change
overnight.
