New York Times article indicated that "the big deal about all the code" had to do with Windows NT. I can only repeat what was printed in The New York Times, Tuesday, October 27, 1998: Ed Zander, President of Sun said "he believed that Microsoft would have significant difficulties meeting stability levels needed for corporate use. 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." By contrast, The Times article mentioned that Solaris will have 12 million to 13 million lines of code. Article suggested this feature was positive. And you seemed to agree: "I understand it uses program caching similar to java so 12 to 13 million lines should be good."
