Solaris vs NT....Microsoft To Unveil Smart Card System (http://www.foxmarketwire.com/wires/1026/f_rt_1026_35.sml) "...One application that will be a focus for Microsoft is security for computer networks running on its high-end Windows NT operating system. The next version of Windows NT will have the built-in ability to understand information on smart cards, and some advanced computers are being shipped with slots to read the cards..." ===================================================================== Sounds like something Sunw already thought about but really never got it to be a standard. Now MS will deliver a smart card system as a pre-installed service in the new NT update. This is a necessary system for e-commerce and in store turnkey order systems. EKS
