Windows NT/2000, on the other hand, has >excellent security, and is designed as a multiuser system. > NT is NOT a multiuser system. It's a multiprocess system. The only multiuser functionality it has is if you put Terminal Server, and add-on, onto it. Just because NT has ACL's and all that doesen't make it multiuser. If you were to claim that it was multiuser just because you can have different ownership of files then a Novell Netware server would be multiuser. UNIX is multiuser because it can have multiple users using user interfaces into a UNIX system simultaneously. Both UNIX and NT can run multiple processes at the same time, and serve files over a network to multiple users at the same time, but NT has no real multiuser capability in it.
