Rocky Mountain NeXT Users Group, in cooperation with the PC Users
Group of Colorado, will be sponsoring a "Windows NT vs. NEXTSTEP
shoot-out." We hope to provide a concise overview of these
competing technologies with side by side demonstrations of both.

Tim Carlin (formerly of NeXT Inc.) of Spatial Technologies will
demonstrate NEXTSTEP.  John Stoddard (co-author of the new book
"Inside Windows NT") of Micro Decisionware will demonstrate
Microsoft's Windows NT. The presentation will be followed by a
question and answer session.

What's comparable to NEXTSTEP?  "How about Windows NT?  It, too, is
a microkernel-based 32-bit multitasking system for networking
environments and requires top-of-the-line hardware.  But NEXTSTEP
is more complete, already established by users and VARs and it is
easier to develop applications for NEXTSTEP than for NT.  NT's
interface is Windows, which is already familiar to millions of
users.  NEXTSTEP's interface is better, in my opinion, but it
does not come with a large supply of pretrained users."
--  BYTE, August 1993
