Quick!! A bonus mark is at stake, what does the "NT" in Windows NT stand for??!?!

<< My God...someone actually agreed with me on the heterogenous network!! And I thought that would start a flame war! I guess I should have given some of the 'nix flameboys a little more credit (wink wink nudge nudge know what I mean guv'nor)
A comment stating that Windows could be useful slipped through the cracks without pissing anyone off! >>



They each have their purpose. I personally dont run Windows, but I wouldnt mind an extra machine with Windows on it. With SAMBA (if Microsoft stops breaking it) they can all work together beautifully. Mac OS X + OpenBSD + linux right now, with maybe another win2k box in the future

Don't forget, Win2K can (finally!) read NFS.

For that matter, what does "CE" stand for? Actually, nothing, it never did. So Microsoft has no problem making up abbreviations which don't mean anything.

Heh...my company uses IRIX, MacOS, OSX, Solaris, and Windows 9x/NT. They all work together pretty well!

Heck, I have 4 of those sitting on my desk now. (5 if I get out my XP laptop)

LOL! I understand...I have two machines with different versions of Linux, one running XP, one with Win2KPro, one of the Linux machines is running Win2KAdvanced Server in VMware, and I'm installing Solaris on another. All of these are on my workbench right now.
