Yeah, but it ain't so hot. The shell, which has been out for a while, had *serious* problems (especially for development -- even M$ said not to use VC++ with it). The beta still has various problems... (and people have told me not to use it yet -- due to problems developing under it). That pretty much negates the whole reason for using NT in the first place -- great robustness (at least compared to 95). - Trung
