   As one of those computer professionals who has to work in multiple worlds:
   I think it should be noted that:

   1. MS developers have had fast, robust copies of NT3.5 for FOUR MONTHS now,

NT 3.5 is about as ready as it's going to get.

   2. I just got my release candidate for Windows 4.0 on Friday, and....

Yes, but it's still buggy and missing some functionality.

   3. I still haven't even seen a pre-release beta FEATURES LIST for 386BSD 1.0 

Speaking of missing things... ;-)
