<The current version of NT is reported to have more than 35 million lines of code, increasing the chances of software errors that would make matters difficult for developers.> Just a side note, the next Windows 2000 system, the one that Solaris 7 is competing against, should have about 60 Million lines of code. I am attending grad school here in Seattle, and half of my classmates are from MSFT, and a good portion of them work on NT development. They said that by Summer 1999, they plan to bring their pillows to their office and sleep there just like they did in Spring 1995. One other thing, the next version of Microsoft Words will have 15 million lines of code, bigger than the Solaris 7. Imagine how big vi, gnu emacs is and compare that to MS words! No wonder MSFT apps have so many bugs.
