I'm not a huge fan of MS software either but I most of mine is. I went
fishing over the weekend and talked to a financial analyst who works at
Microsoft. He said that Microsoft was indeed setting its sights on the
domain of Unix. NT5 is supposed to be super secure and powerful at
multitasking among other things. Most MS employees are using it now
internally though I still think the scheduled release date is still 2-3 Qtr
of 99.

I too have no love for Microsoft and their low quality products, but I
will give them this... as bad as Microsoft software is, it does keep
getting better and better. Problem is that the Windows interface is
inconsistant and full of nastiness (not to mention blue screens of death).
But both the operating system and the tools are improving!
They might even give Unix a run for its money but I doubt it :-).
