Michael, Here is an interesting UNIX - vs. NT article: kirch.net Most of it details the insufficiencies in NT that we already know, but it does contain some memorable quotes from some disgruntled NT customers, many of whom have settled for Linux on Intel as an alternative. It also contains a price comparison between MSFT Exchange Mail Server & Solaris showing that MSFT's inelegant per-seat license fee for their e-mail service is more than twice the cost of Solaris for only 200 users. Oddly enough, the guy who compiled the information in this article claims he is an "NT" consultant. I think we need a "Consumer Reports" for the computer industry that can detail price/feature/performance comparisons without the typical bias shown by industry rags. cheers, cherylw
