- Hmm...
- I can't give any articles, but only my personal experience. I am Sysadm and
- all around UN*X system support. I installed Windows NT beta (Oct 92 I think)
- on my workstaion. I was *NOT* impressed, it really needs alot of fixing up to
- even compare to UNIX. The TCP/IP stuff kept crashing on me, it is also slow and
- still very unstable. I agree it is only Beta, but really!, I am running a pd
- UN*X on my work station, wth networking, and it is 100 times more stable.

- We will just have to see...what the future holds.
