rudedog, one thing you have to say about the NT team, they've certainly been productive coders, in some sense of the word anyway. Around last Comdex, I think, the word was NT5 was 34M lines, double Win98's 17M. 16M lines in a year is a lot of code, that's for sure. Like you say, it'll be interesting to see what stays and what goes. What's the big new stuff? I usually get lost in marketese trying to follow from the outside. There's Hydra/WTS and Active Directory, of course. And I imagine a big double-counted increment for IE4, aka bits of integrated technology formerly known as the browser. Beyond that, all I recall at the moment is the nebulous DNA retrovirus initiative, with COM+, Forms+, Storage+, and the 8500+ Windows APIs. I assume most of that's supposed to come later anyway. What are the things to watch for? Cheers, Dan.
