Well, compared to philadelphia and pittsburgh it is incredible.

Well, maybe I'm biased here, but they seem to be doing fairly well with NT at this point as a server system. They comprimised some of the protection normally found in a microkernel, but NT really isn't that slow... and NT doesn't stand for new technology anymore, so they don't go running around saying they invented it all. anyway, this discussion probably doesn't belong on here... alex
