- I just loaded the October rerlease of NT this last weekend (I can't really give you
- any comparison info because, although I've worked with many UNIX workstations and
- Macs, I'm new to the PC.) The October release doesn't have the same system
- requirements. It requires 8 Meg (would like 16) and about 90 Meg of disk space.
- The disk space requirement includes 20 Meg for swap space and both Windows NT and the
- SDK. I don't know how much of the space is SDK but you may not need the development
- kit.
-
- I did notice a new book at the local Software, Etc. that intends to tell
- you all the virtues of NT. I'll pick it up this weekend.
