DEC cuts workstation prices (February 11, 1998: 1:50 p.m. ET) Reductions as much as 10 percent cover both Intel, Alpha chip models... cnnfn.com Instead of the UNIX operating system, the machines come pre-loaded with Microsoft Corp.'s Windows NT Workstation 4.0. ===================================================================== Too bad these machines do not come pre-loaded with the Solaris OS. I checked out the SUNW site you posted but I am still waiting for the specifications on the Windows-NT add-on card. There are lot's of users out there that have Windows applications that need a platform that can run these programs. Therefore, SUN needs to address this function in their low end Ultra line. EKS

Addi, I'd like to see SUNW's P/E to 30's. I happenly watched C-SPAN last night and President Clinton was holding a meeting in the White House East Room called something like "The first Millennium Initiatives". The first lady announced during the meeting starting remark - "This meeting is being broadcasted using the Sun Microsystems computers onto Internet. The meeting is being viewed by over 180 universities and colleges throughout US. If anybody logons to our Internet site (White House), he/she can hear and see the meeting in real-time throughout the world." Pretty cool! However, C-SPAN does not have the huge audience population as NBC, CBS, or ABC. Regards. Lin
