Wayne, I'm an insurance analyst and was wanting to echo a statement you were making about productivity. The "upgrade" to Windows NT at my company (Allstate) may have provided centralization for the IT department, but at a tremendous cost in productivity for the rest of us. We are literally crawling now. I'm not exagerrating when I say I spend approximately an 45 minutes each day waiting on my machine to respond. And we don't have slow machines (P-133 w/ 32 meg RAM). I think one of the major problems that NT is bringing to the fore is one of responsiveness by the Tech departments. NT allows people hundreds of miles away to set-up and manage our LAN. They rarely, if ever, come to the field to see how slow our machines are running with the current setups. In my view NT is more for the IT departments convenience than for end-user productivity.
