"As for Xeon and Windows NT I think you are underestimating MSFT and INTC's ability to challange the Unix gang." And I think you have overestimated it, so we haven't settled much. I predict Microsoft will still be FUDding the demise of Unix five years from now, with little if any increase (and more likely a decrease) in the market share of NT, or Windows 2000, or Windows 2005, or UltraWindows (TM), or whatever it's called by then. I personally hope to switch from Wintel to Sun Darwin sometime in 1999, because I'm tired of rebooting to clear problems with, e.g., Rnaapp not clearing when I logoff (not familiar with that one? it's a pretty well documented problem). You can fool some of the people some of the time, but you can't fool everyone forever -- eventually there will be a mass realization that computing can be better than it is with Wintel. On the Intel side of the question, Texas Instruments is no slouch, either. JMHO.
