- I understand these two products have been available in a huge semi-public
- beta distribution for quite some time. When will the initial officially
- supported public distribution be made available for general release?
-
- Does anyone know the planned contents of the final public general release?
-
- What is the mechanism for protection against piracy of the operating system?
- End user honesty? Serial numbers? Cryptographic password authentication?
- Online network authentication of unique installation identification? Does
- the system provide any support for protecting end user applications against
- software piracy (license servers, cryptographic authentication, etc)?
-
- What is the viability of the NT system for support real time high bandwidth
- (several audio channel) laboratory data collection/process control systems?
-
- I understand the application developer's kit is available via 800 telephone.
- Is the device driver developer's kit also available via the same mechanism?
-
- What kind of CD ROM should I add to my system to support Windows NT? I have
- a 386DX-33/387, 8MB/64K, 400MB, ATI Graphics Vantage||Prodesigner II ET-4000,
- Adaptec 1542b, 5.25" FD, 1SER/1PAR, Archive Viper 150i system.
