Joe, glad you're back also! Appreciate your insight...NT 5.0 is 18 months late because "the hard parts" required for scalability and directory services, etc aren't done. NT 4.0 is fairly unreliable and with more code than MVS, plus requiring hardware upgrades and ~10 other utilities to run. With release now being discussed in early '99, the Y2K issue pushes it further out into 200X? Now, Microsoft has already admitted that NT 6.0 will be a complete redesign and rewrite [acknowledging what a kluge NT 5.0 really is]. Question: What is the chance that NT 5.0 is never released, but rather keeps being used to freeze the market while NT 6.0 is being developed?
