Dell issued a decree last year to move huge pieces of their data center to NT, data warehouse, everything. Im sure its done now or close to being done. Obviously they have an incentive to make it work, I understand, but if Dell thoughput is not a litmus test for NT in the enterprise I dont know what is. Anyway Im not arguing that NT competes at the high end. My argument is that enterprise software is fracturing along some business lines and NT is picking up that business. OK, so you Sun people dont agree, fine, but all this NT business that the ERPs are getting has to be coming from somewhere. Interesting your NT will never be an enterprise OS sounds a lot like the "unix will never be an enterprise os" argument we heard from the Vax people at Oracle in 1993.
