The other guy was saying that NT's inability to : display Win32 apps on a remote X screen proves that NT cannot run X.

You have been fighting with the people who gave simple answers to your reply to my question, but you failed to give an answer to me for my last posting.

Others in here couldnt care less about the things we think about these OS's.... Happy new year.... (Lets take it to a friendly kind of tone from now on....
