> in six years, unix will have 1% of the market and it will all be Solaris. Without getting into details as why above statement is absolutely naive (because we have done so many many times in that past and we'd be repeating ourselves again), I just quote something that Scott McNeally said in the last earnings report and leave it at that! biz.yahoo.com Chief Executive Officer Scott McNealy said, ''We are pleased with the results of the second quarter. Rumors are that UNIX(R) is dying, if this dying it sure feels good! Sun's unrelenting focus and investments in SPARC(TM), Solaris(TM) and Java(TM) platforms continue to fuel our growth in the commercial, technical and consumer markets. Sun continues to be a force to be reckoned with as the high performance, safe and scalable alternative to the PC model.'' Regards, Addi Jamshidi

Like I said I won't wait till hell freezes over. ANTI-TREND: NT SERVER DOESN'T TAKE OVER THE ENTERPRISE. herring.com Rubbish. The press has been hypnotized into a kind of dull-witted fatalism about Windows NT. But it is an argument based on little more than analogy: NT Server will succeed like Windows 95 succeeded. NT fatalists like to cite the alarming growth of NT Server sales: 16,000 copies of NT Server were sold in 1992. Four years later, Microsoft sold 732,000. But 1996 sales of multiuser Unix systems were only a little less: about 616,000. More significantly, there is an enormous installed base of non-NT systems (see chart). NT Server is still a minority platform. --- I guess you are a dull-witted fatalism kind of person. Mike
