youve got to be kidding - so NT 5.0 is going to be 4 times better than Solaris because its 4 times as large? (im giving microslop the benefit of the xtra 4 mil lines of code). at 40 million lines of code NT 5.0 is many times bigger than MVS forget Solaris - actually NT 4.0 is bigger than Solaris and MVS so therefore it must be better. typical Microsoft thinking. NT 5.0 when (and this is a big one) - when it arrives will definately be big enough - it just wont be powerful, robust, strong or reliable enough. it will be a capable file and print server and low end application server by sheer power of extending its monopoly against its low end competition (Netware, OS/2, SCO) - millions will be sold, like millions of netware licenses were sold - but it wont be in the same class as Solaris 2.7 and most likely Solaris 3.0 by the time NT Vaporware arrives against reduced expectations.
