Bullsh*. As I wrote in a previous post, you can get full X on NT today! I can telnet to another NT machine and run an X program on that which machine which displays its output on my machine. What else do you want ? > > Have you tried linux, Sir? or are you discussing something you know > not of? Yes, actually I have linux. My 486/66;24M;700M machine has NT 3.5, Windows 95 and linux installed on it. I have the yggradsil (sp?) release. I like linux as a way to learn mach and I am trying to get a mach single server on it. But for linux to match the capabilities of NT, it has a ways to go. What it's missing is: multi-threading, port to another CPU (I know many are in progress but I will wait till I see one), UNICODE, Windows emulation (I know about wine too), multi-processing and I know you won't like this but Win32 implementation.
