RE: NT vs. Unix. Thanks for the post. I still belive that there are scalability and reliability issues (from first hand experience in a trading environment) with NT. I have always said that NT will eventually take over the enterprise because of mindshare, marketing and the fact that MSFT have the best people working on it. However if people think it is ready now for large mission critical systems then I would not like to be the CIO that makes that decision. BTW this does not mean that I think that Unix is the answer to all or that it is better than VMS or was ahead of VMS or whatever, or even that SUNW are heading for world domination.
