- 1. NT is a huge bloated hog that uses Windows 3.1 as a GUI.
-
- 2. NT, as shipped, will not be a replacement for multiuser UNIX.
-
- 3. Microsoft is now changing it's direction to sell NT as a server OS.
-
- 4. OS/2 2.0 is the best answer in town for multitasking today's MSDOS
- applications.
-
- 5. Most important PC application are moving to UNIX.
-
- 6. Free UNIX won't make it as a commercial product.
-
- 7. As delivered, NT does not support conventional multiple logins, and
- Microsoft says that they have no plans to change this.
-
- The number of UNIX sites is increasing, not decreasing.
