From Nicolas Petreley's Column of January 5th in Infoworld: infoworld.com Unnatural selection I also wonder how anyone can realistically predict or plan any meaningful IT development strategies regarding Windows NT or Windows 98, other than just choosing to upgrade. This uncertainty results from the two priorities that drive the evolution of Windows and override all other considerations. Priority No. 1: Microsoft must always look out for any emerging threat to its desktop monopoly and be prepared to adapt its Windows strategy to squash that threat. That gives rise to the moving target called "The Next Version." You wanted an object file system? Multiuser capabilities? A scalable, manageable directory system similar to Novell Directory Services? Telnet-based remote administration? A shell scripting language with open APIs for easy network management? Sorry, Microsoft programmers will get to those features right after they are finished putting the final touches on their plans to eliminate Navigator, Java, network computers, and Unix.
