Elmer,

RE: The lack of clean, seamless remote
login and graphics rerouting is the single most glaring omission of
NT, IMHO.


Not sure I agree with that, but it's a close second. The most glaring for CAD design tools IMHO is the inability of NT in general to allow multiple versions of a single tool to be installed on a box.

In Microsoft's SOP, you always overwrite or uninstall the old version before upgrading to the new version. So designs done under version 1.0 have to be recompiled for 2.0, etc. Then try to go backward if you decide the new tool has a fatal flaw which wasn't uncovered during your testing before going into the production environment or build.

Terminal server works "pretty" well, so remote logins etc. are being dealt with, I haven't seen anything on multi version support, dll's just get overwritten during upgrades, vendors toss the mess into the windows/system directory instead of a tool directory. It's a mess.
