The thing is if NT will be popular in future PC and NT is available as an option in future enterprise computing machines, then the kids who are growing up with NT PC work in the industry will prefer NT in the enterprise computing machines. The problem in the computer industry is we have two major OS systems, one is for PCs and one for Enterprise computing machines. When you are in school (elementary, high , and most likely in University) , you deal with PCs, but when you work in the industry, you have to deal with another unfamiliar system (UNIX), and spend years to get familiar with it. So, Microsoft has the advantage, and my Vote is for Microsoft , not SUNW !!!!!!!!! We do need an unified OS system across PCs and high end enterprise computing world.

Win98 --- Acquiring it is a must With Win98 you can have multiple graphics adapters in your system. That means you can watch the ticker on one screen and surf the net on the other. Remember when we all couldn't conceive of single user systems doing useful multitasking. Now we've got it. Two screens, two programs running at the same time and doing something useful. I've asked a friend of mine who has used a Beta for awhile as to its stability and installation as a Win95 upgrade and he has seven networked computers with a web server in his living room and he said "No Problem". I think Win98 is a winner. Wait until the street finds out!!!
