- As far as I can understand, having spoken to Microsoft, NT is a
-
- SINGLE USER MULTI TASKING OS.
-
- It is able to work as a Database server handling multiple clients since
- the Database Server handles the multiple access, not NT. It can not
- handle multipl log ons itself.
-
- My view is that it will not displace UNIX becasue it is only single user.
