- Is NT solid enough to add it to the "if operating systems were like cars"
- thread, yet?
-
- If NT was a car, it'd come with a rotary engine, a piston engine, a sterling
- engine, and a steam engine. The door locks seem to actually work (they didn't
- on the previous model), but it's got a stearing wheel for every seat and no
- seat-belts. The trailer hitch is square, but they're promising a round one
- in the next version...
