Re: High End Storage

Keep in mind the company recently announced their direction at the end of January of this year. It takes time to ramp up and hit on all cylinders. The storage revenues will be enormous, IMO.

Re: NT

NT still contains too much old code from old versions of Windows/COM. This code has caused, and will continue to cause, major problems for those attempting to design software/hardware solutions for this platform.

MSFT isn't always that helpful when problems arise. For good reason. They often have to admit the short comings of their product line. Much of the existing NT code is still an offshoot of a single user based operating system. Operating system interupts can cause the entire system to grind to a halt while a single device communicates with the OS. This is one of many problems that must be addressed in any new version of NT. Similar to your WIN based PC grinding to a halt when the diskette drive is accessed, there are similar problems in NT with network cards and other devices.

Just my 2 cents.
