I find that very hard to believe.  I'm sure I read a news report which
stated that 2000 software engineers are working on NT.  Does anyone
from Microsoft have the official word?

1. RE A MICROSOFT EXODUS THREAD

Ladies, Gentlemen and Cyberspace Dogs,
The above thread has been going for some time with most of
it now an argument between Linux users and Windows users and
points of Windows behaviour, with occassional references to
Macs.

Could I politely ask that if your participating in that that
you check the headers and do not reply to c.o.os2.advocacy
unles it is an issue that is about OS/2.

Apart from saving bandwidth, for those of us users who still
pay by the minute or Mbyte for our connections it saves us
from expense.It also allows our groups to more focussed on
what they are about.

Thank you I'll get out of your groups again now.
