The release of Solais 2.7 in October is good for MSFT's investor, because it will force Microsoft to show what is in its sleeve and probably release the NT5 even earlier. Right, ed. So the arbitrary slippage going on with NT5 is another clever ruse by the brilliant Bill, to get Sun to tip its hand, eh? Now that a new version of Solaris is out, NT ship dates are going to start moving forward instead of back? Maybe you should call up Jim Allchin and let him know, he seems to be getting a little apologetic of late. Besides , I do not think Microsoft's R&D is so dumb to develop the NT5 with over 40 millions line of codes but have less performance comparing with Solaris which had only 11 millions of codes. That is quite a brilliant formulation. Improving performance by code bloat would count as a truly impressive innovation, if that were actually what's going on. Or maybe it's true. Me, I'd estimate that the "sucks less" side is once again being overrun by the "more features" crowd, but that's just a guess. Cheers, Dan.
