Why would you ask me a technical question when there are so many techies around here? I will have to ask my husband. Again!!!. And he only tinkers with computer code. He does not earn his salary by writing code. He thought the new IBM alliance would threaten NT. Why? He did not tell me, specifically. So, I will have to ask him. As you mentioned, IBM produces large computers. They are large, main-frame computers. Sun produces high-end desk-top computers. So we may be comparing apples to oranges. Others on this thread would know for sure. As far as MSFT is concerned, the company has promised to put a high-end NT operating system on the market and the company has been unable to do so, according to the article in, The New York Times. I will check the news again but there was a special report on the evening business news with Paul Kangas about Sun's new system. I will try and find a summary of the report. I do NOT know if MSFT promised that their new version of NT would have a powerful 64-bit addressing system. And I do not know if IBM will produce a 64-bit addressing system on a desk top. What is important here is that SUN can ship their new Solaris system next Tuesday, according to the newspaper.
