NT and Linux in harmony (was "RE: Trade Fair ideas")

["Scott R. Myers" <scott@mytech.org>]

My 2 cents.  Because of what I do I'm exposed to a lot of very experienced
security, network, nt and unix gurus.  When I bring up topics of Unix and
NT it's interesting to me how many have an even handed view of the two. 

Bottom line the NT people, although comitted, are quite aware that Unix
(Linux) is far more mature and as a result benfits in its stability,
robustness and flexibility.

Unix people, also quite comitted, admit that the UI of Microsoft has a lot
of what it's taking the Unix community time to pull together on but more
importantly standardize on.

All that said I guess there is room for both.  I think when I grow up I'll
use a lot of Unix for my critical systems and NT (Windows 9x blah) for
front end interfaces to access the Unix apps and handle office automation.

Did someone say BEOS ;-)

IMHO
