I have an NT license at work and I use it for telnet and mail right now as we are running from NT and developing new apps on Unix. If I have the time my work machine is going to be running Linux. The company will probably purchase an NT5.0 upgrade for me even if I ask them not to. Also, all our machines come with Windows 95 and we immediately format them and load NT (another copy sold). My machine at home also has NT on it. I use it only to run things once in a while that won't run in Linux, or Solaris. So here are my 2 copies of NT that basically do NOTHING. MS has the money for them, but why they deserve it I do not know. I suspect that there are literally Millions of copies of NT out there doing nothing just like mine are. Every Unix box I see is doing real work.
