- Windows NT _does_ sound good based on what little I know... but 12-16 MB
- just to run the OS "comfortably?" Seems like (dunce hat on) much of the
- overhead might be reduced by leaving out all the networking, security
- and SMP stuff that would just get in the way of basic LW rendering use
- on a non-networked workstation.
- What we need is a WindowsNT.GetSmall.
- (I know, that's rather like wishing for a good scotch that doesn't
- make your head hurt: unlikely.)
- ...or would that be OS/2 Warp?
