In fact he went a step further, saying that : Windows NT was the same thing as Unix: 'In a short time, it will be the : most popular form of Unix ever. Windows NT will outsell those other : incompatible versions of Unix.' " Unquote. What Bill said about Windows NT in 1993 doesn't necessarily translate to how it turned out - any more than DOS converged with XENIX. Maybe what he was referring to was the gutless POSIX subsystem in NT. There's only one use I've found for that, and that is creating hard links. : Now that he has had so much trouble with the Justice Department, and with : Linux becoming so popular, In fact, apart from the fact that is isn't Unix, it's the most popular form of Unix ever :-) For a popular Unix that actually _is_ Unix, you'd probably want to look at MacOS X. ------------- http://www.seasip.demon.co.uk/index.html -------------------- John Elliott |BLOODNOK: "But why have you got such a long face?" |SEAGOON: "Heavy dentures, Sir!" - The Goon Show :-------------------------------------------------------------------------)
