   As I said, hand waving and bullshitting.

  I stated the main goal, and that's enough.

       I still have not seen from you a list of all the goals of either =
of these two products.  You can say you provided the goals without =
actually doing so all you want.  It's still hand waving and = bullshitting.
 Either put up or shut up.

      I most certainly did.

      That's what I said and meant.

      A superset that compromises its usability for my purposes.

      Nope, not going to try any more after this, arguing with you is =
like arguing
      with a rabid pit bull. (all bite and no logic.)

         You still have failed to state the goal of either Windows XP =
Professional
      or Windows NT Workstation 4.0.  All you have to offer is that =
Windows XP
      Professional has a superset of the capabilities of Windows NT =
Workstation
      4.0.

      Nice dig, but Geo has it partly right, it's what XP is designed to =
do that
      NT4 wasn't -- Product activation, integrated Messenger and WMP =
(for the
      masses, it doesn't mean squat we don't need that at work as a =
vulnerability
      point)  Also XP is somewhat more designed to run games, well, I =
don't need
      that at work and don't need that ability taking up space on my =
hard drives.

      It all comes down to XP being a consumer targeted OS and NT4 was =
most
      certainly not.

         I have no doubt that one (only one) goal of Windows XP Home =
Edition was
      to supercede Windows Me on consumer desktops.  Robert though made =
a quite
      broader claim regarding the overall goals and not of this product =
but
      Windows XP Professional and Windows NT Workstation 4.0.  I'm sure =
Robert
      will clear this up when he tells us all the goals of these two =
products.
      I'm particularly interested in what goals Windows NT Workstation =
4.0 had
      that Windows XP did not.
