I am having a difficult time recalling when the Intel picture was so clouded with divergent news. Note the following excerpts from this AM's WSJ. "But Mr. Mehdi(Microsoft) is telling corporations to skip Windows 98 and upgrade directly to Windows NT, the company's more powerful -- and more expensive -- operating system for desktop machines and servers. Indeed, NT represents the long-term future for all Microsoft customers; the company has all but said the technology underlying Windows 95 and Windows 98 is a dead end." "Computer makers are recommending that NT 5.0 users buy PCs with 128 megabytes of memory, for example, compared with 16 megabytes or 32 megabytes on most corporate desktop machines today. They also suggest Intel Corp. Pentium II chips running at a speed of 400 megahertz, up to four times faster than many desktop systems. "It becomes a nice benefit from our point of view to help our customers run NT 5.0 all of the time because it is going to help us sell more hardware," says Susan Rubino, director of marketing for Dell Computer Corp.'s line of corporate desktop computers." NT 5.0 is expected out in 1st quarter 99. The computers my company is buying today anticipates this event. Good news for ram as well.
