There was no "sophomore mistake", there was a business decision. If purely technical decisions were always the right decisions, there would be an entirely different microcomputer industry today. The whole history of the computer industry is one of business decisions being more important than purely technical decisions, and that continues. Don't rule out the existence of GMGC software that makes up for some of the NT shortcomings, either. Sure, there are a lot of things that are a hassle in NT when compared with Unix, but that doesn't mean that they are less reliable. Some of the bitching about NT is just old dogs not wanting to learn new tricks, and some of it is indeed shortcomings within NT. Still works just fine and still has better uptime than most stuff as far as I can find out. So ?
