While NT was still in development, I had the opportunity to chat with one (unnamed - 'cuz he's still there....) of the coders for the NT microkernel part of the project....I learned something ironic... NT is Un*x!! Way down deep in the heart of the os, surrounded by tons of extraneous MicroSquish slush....is for all intents and purposes, Mach (From CMU). Some might remember Mach as the OS that supported the NeXT as NeXTStep. Well, S. Jobs picked Mach for the same reason B. Gatez picked it, that being it was easily hidden under a layer of crud as to make it something else. So this debate as to whether NT is a better WWW server than Un*x is sort of like debating whether a white tennis ball is better at Wimbledon than a green tennis ball. Either way, you gotta have the balls to play..... -Gregg Gregg Discenza greggd@caddmicro.com My Opinion! Mine! MINE! BWAHAHAHAHAA!!!!
