Interestingly, research in this market shows that most of the IT market
regards UNIX as out of date and old technology, and NT as the future.

Unfortunately, most IT managers, CIOs, etc that I've spoken with don't
seem to have even heard of it. They know the various commercial flavours
of Unix - Solaris, AIX, etc - but not Linux.
In the IT market, NT is hot. (Although I do what I can, like forwarding
the original message of this thread to all my Asia Pacific colleagues).
