How's this little article Feb 16/98 - new enough for you it's only Feb 14 now. Throwing Windows off the desktop is too risky, but you can preserve some OS choice infoworld.com First, there's the Microsoft ad that implores you to install the Windows NT Workstation because it is faster, more robust, and yada yada yada. What will you be upgrading from? Windows 95, of course, which I guess must be slower and more fragile. Who writes this ad copy? News flash to Microsoft: You're supposed to badmouth your competitors' products, not your own. But NT is, of course, far inferior to many of its competitors, at least in performance and stability. Be honest. Isn't there a part of you that wishes you could use Linux instead? Too bad you can't take the risk. --- You forgot to add into your calculations when the NC takes off you'll need performance and stability on the server side and as you can tell NT is Not There. Why would corporations upgrade from Windows to NT when all they need is a good powerful and reliable server and NC's for the employees ? Mike
