If automobiles had that kind of performance we'd be outraged. Of
course if we had to put vendor specfic gas into them we'd be outraged
as well.
Microsoft is accepted today because it's easy. The world is becomimg
full of IS Managers, Sys Admins, etc. that are too lazy to deal with
an authentic network operating system like UNIX (any flavor) or
Novell. Unfortunately, this infrastructure being built on Bill Gates
back is weak... you get out of it what you put into it. And right now
M$ is putting nothing into it. What does this mean for the future?
Either, NT goes through a major evolution (hint: cut and paste the
kernal and OS code from Linux), or Infrastructure will come crashing
down around our ears.....
