Yes, I think I agree with you, on that view but, you didn't really 
consider the reliability aspect of unix versus Windows NT, or also the 
fact that code written under dos or windows suffers from the architecture 
being very recursion unfriendly. 

Another point to consider would be the scalability of unix i.e. it runs on 
everything to super computers, with vastly differing architectures, I 
think dos would find it very difficult to handle a full vector processor.

Ok UNIX is unfriendly, unless you want to use X, or some front end, but 
you have to remember it wasn't designed in the days that the word gui 
could be used to non-tech people and they might have a chance of knowing 
what you mean.

To be honest I prefer the horses for courses approach, i.e. client server 
networks, with p.c. where necessery running X, far nicer.
