divvie <<If they succeed in producing interoperability between a future version of NT and DEC Unix, this stands an extremely high chance of becoming the standard for the enterprise. In the long run it will close out DELL. >> if it becomes a standard, it's open to all, including Dell. Dell has interix interop; everyting is "stop gap" as everything changes year from year; even the above cpq/msft would be stopgap as something better will replace it

I'm confused?... First there are many version's of Unix..the DEC version is not the predominant product. So, even if MSFT can build a compatible NT version what about SCO, HP, AT&T, Sun, IBM, etc...? There's AIX, UX, etc.. what about those?

Also, scalability is a problem but I suspect that reliability is an even greater issue.
