Justin, >What I find interesting is the way NT is moving into the future. Right now, it's hell to maintain and admin without lots of add-on tools. To make it actually workable, it's turning more and more into Unix. sed, awk, perl, ksh, tcsh, gnu, etc. Implementing a real multi-user environment with a network transparent gui is going to make NT almost close enough to call Unix with a MSFT look, and a higher TCO ;) Could not agree with you more. Unix has 20+ years of modifications to it to give it the functionality that people actually needed. In order for WindowsNT to replace Unix it will have to do everything that Unix does right now and at that point you have just another Unix box. The obvious thing to do is give Linux the Windows look-and-feel and start unloading it. Cheers, Norm
