It's primarily a report on SCO's Unix forum. The best part: "But how long will Unix survive? Microsoft Corp. is touting its 3-year old Windows NT operating system as easier to use, just as powerful and a cheaper solution to the thorny technical problems that Unix once solved exclusively. 'Cheaper' is probably the biggest thing going for NT. Unlike Unix, which demands expensive, high-end work stations to work, Windows NT can accomplish technical feats on run-of-the-mill destop personal computers." It would seem that Janet has an opportunity for a follow-up story here. Annelise
