Well, IBM has predicted so called "paperless office" in 5 years in the year
....1980. Paper manufacturers 
did not seem very concerned at the time and, boy, are they thriving these
days! Don't get me wrong, I like 
Microsoft. In fact, I like Microsoft so much that I wish that there was more
then one. Who knows, Santa or 
the appellate court might grant my wishes. After all, I was a reasonably
good boy during the last 4 quarters...

Yea, but...... 

Win2K Datacenter will just decimate Unix. I predict that, in 
5 years, there will be two or three Unix vendors, fighting over 
the 45% of the market that DataCenter hasn't eaten.

Close. It's Dave Cutler. There's too much old DOS/Windows backward 
compatibility for WinNT/2000 to achieve stability like VMS despite Cutler's 
leadership. 

I knew VMS and you, Mr. NT, are no VMS!

NT is based on VMS (talk about a real OS) and if my 
memory is good the guy's name is Cutter. 

Do I win a toaster ? a microwave oven ? a palm-pilot ?
