>>>Windows NT 5.0 is hot on Win 98's heels, with my colleague Timothy Dyck predicting that Microsoft will fill a gaping hole in its revenue stream by releasing NT 4.5 next year. The worst of times, indeed.<<< I certainly hope this is what happens. No big changes, lots of bug fixes and improvements in existing functionality and online documentation. What were Microsoft's best operating system releases in terms of stability relative to their predecessor? Dos 2.1, Dos 3.1, Windows 3.1 and 3.11, OS/2 1.1, NT 3.51, and the "Win95" version that you could buy in late 1996 (pre the IE tentacular incursions.) These were actually the versions that people used and respected for a long time. Their most popular versions, in most cases. The ones that you couldn't pry users and IS departments away from. Why? They fixed them, and we collectively didn't pay billions more for another round of retraining. Chaz
