As to future profits, watch the NT "Tornado".

As to buzzwords, watch out for overhyped phrases taken from simplistic books written by former liberal-arts professors turned business gurus.

There can be no "Tornado," as in Geoffrey Moore's "inside the Tornado" because the client-server and enterprise computing businesses are already large, fairly mature businesses with well entrenched suppliers.

So what!? Every time my Windows 95 software acts not as advertised (ie., crashes and needs rebooting) I wonder why I should have to pay Microsoft *again* to get what I didn't get the first time.

(Linux and Solaris will run applications for months without a reboot.)
