All re: NT - there are new worlds to conquer. MSFT announced joint efforts w/ Amdahl and Fitjitsu (? spelling) to develop NT for IBM mainframe compatibles last month. Now, once this is available, anybody using VM or MVS will be ready to KILL to get NT running on these dinosaurs, so IBM's gonna have to license it, too (because it will provide them a way of extending the life of this market!). Then MSFT can sell Office for mainframes! What can they charge for that? Is $1M a copy + $100 per seat out of the question? I know many of you are mostly tuned into the PC world, but that are other worlds out there and the really BIG story is that's where MSFT is heading. And the software doesn't sell for $87 a copy in some of these other markets. Just MHO.
