Bill, NT is more stable. It also causes more problems
when you have to talk to tech support because so (relatively)
fewer people use it. That will probably change in the next
12-18 months. But for now, you have to be ready for it.
From what I can gather, Cybertrader is ready to support NT.
But be warned that lots of supporting services do not
do it well. Example: I foolishly bought Turbo Tax,
which ran on NT last year, and this year did not! I
will not repeat in a public forum the words I used,
but suffice it to say that I had to boot Win 95 to
do my taxes on the &%$&%$%&&&&$%^$. (You think I'M
a jerk, go deal with Intuit -- I guarantee you will
mean that "I Like Spots" tagline by comparison. <G>)
For another example, I just finished a 5-week battle with
my ISP because they had problems with the connection
to a late version of NT I installed.
We finally resolved it, but I had to do all internet
access through an alternate for that time.
I have to run NT at present because I support NT products.
I will be buying a new personal PC in the next few months
myself, and I believe I will opt for NT in spite of the
problems, exactly because of the stability (and greater
control, I must add). But be warned that you will pay
in other areas. I can give more examples if you can
take 'em <G>.
