Elmer, >>For once I agree with you. The lack of clean, seamless remote login and graphics rerouting is the single most glaring omission of NT, IMHO. Under Unix it's the simplest think to do.<< This may be true, but my son recently bought a desktop equipped with NT just so he could utilize Unix. So I guess you could say that NT is getting a free ride<g> bp

Elmer, RE: The lack of clean, seamless remote login and graphics rerouting is the single most glaring omission of NT, IMHO. Not sure I agree with that, but it's a close second. The most glaring for CAD design tools IMHO is the inability of NT in general to allow multiple versions of a single tool to be installed on a box. In Microsoft's SOP, you always overwrite or uninstall the old version before upgrading to the new version. So designs done under version 1.0 have to be recompiled for 2.0, etc. Then try to go backward if you decide the new tool has a fatal flaw which wasn't uncovered during your testing before going into the production environment or build. Terminal server works "pretty" well, so remote logins etc. are being dealt with, I haven't seen anything on multi version support, dll's just get overwritten during upgrades, vendors toss the mess into the windows/system directory instead of a tool directory. It's a mess.
