- Doubts grow over the NT package, date
-
- In a senario that is increasingly beginning to resemble the early days of
- OS/2, Microsoft Corp. appears to be struggling to determine not only how to
- present Windows NT but even what Windows NT will be in its first release.
- While Microsoft still insists that Windows NT will ship in the second
- quarter will all promised functionality, analysts and users are betting
- that the new operating system will either have to be delayed as much as
- several months or stripped of some functionality to meet the scheduled ship
- date of May or June.
-

-
- What is apparent, based on the near unaniminty of opinion by ananlysts and
- users, is that Microsoft stiil has something of a credibility gap to
- bridge. Despite Microsoft's strong statements to the contrary, observers
- still have doubts about the firm's ability to deliver on what it promises.

-
- Indications are that it [NT] will not be [ready], at least not by Windows
- World in May, when Microsoft is expected to throw its Windows NT launch
- party, according to Jesse Berst, publisher of the Redmond-based "Windows
- Watcher" newsletter.
-
- Berst was optimistic that Microsoft could ship Windows NT by June, although
- he said the system may be slower than people had expected.

- Beta testers say Microsoft OS lacks enterprise features
-
- Microsoft Corp's Windows NT may be more network-savy than previous versions
- of Windows, but the initial release will lack many of the enterprise
- networking capabilities found in competitors' products.

- Note I did leave some articles out that were favorable about NT. This is
- why these 'tidbits' very deceptive.
