You're deadly wrong ... Microsoft doesn't support MIPS anymore with
their new Version 4.x.
Don't say, well, then I'll keep on using 3.51. Then you are stuck with
your old Microsoft software, since the new Internet Explorer only runs
on Win95 or Windows NT 4.x.
This is only one example, where you are in the claws of Microsoft
product management ...
And if I remember right, then one of the other Platforms, I think
it's Power PC, isn't supported as well anymore with NT 4.x.
People, who believed, that Microsoft Windows NT is a real Multiplatform
approach are left alone.
That's the way, how Microsoft makes business with you ...
The next step is, that Microsoft gets rid of their Domain Models
and switches to X.400 directory services ... Then you probably
can get rid of that stuff as well ;-/
Have fun using Microsoft ;-)
