- Abso-bloody-lutely. All my prejudice says, NT is DOS/Windows wrapped
- up to looked like more. It's still single user. A single-user system
- is not the same as a multi-user system being used by just one person
- either. You get a whole load more functionality, not to mention
- protection from silly mistakes and better accounting in a multi-user
- system, however many people use it. Remember with DOS you are always
- `root'.
-
- % Several people have said NT is single user. Can we get an authoritative
- % answer? I'd also like to know what kinds of protection it supports. --DL
-
- UNIX dead? Well, who knows... But not killed by NT.
