NetWare was designed many years before NT at a time where multiple
processor machines were not available or needed. You're implying
that once a product is released, any changes to the product are
"grafted" on and are, therefore, not as good as features that were
put in the original design. While I certainly don't agree with this,
I hope you apply this belief consistently. NT will soon have
Wolfpack and Active Directory _grafted_ on to it. Is this correct?
Even today, NetWare running on a single processor box will usually
outperform NT running on a multiple processor box.

Yes, Jyri - don't go preaching religion unless it's the one "true"
religion.
