Hi Chris,

   I think you missed my sarcasm. I was also drawing a comparison with 
OS/2 .....

   About two years ago, 80% of Microsoft Australia's customers still ran 
(at least some) Windows NT 4.0 servers, it was and still is a problem 
for Microsoft to get companies to take out systems that work and have to 
upgrade hardware to run the next version, that from a business viewpoint 
often does not add anything to the business's profit.   Hmm, also sounds 
like OS/2. Perhaps the fact that Windows NT 4 is really OS/2 2.0 with a 
Windows 3.11 interface grafted on to it has something to do with it as 
well ??

Cheers/2

Ed.
