Just like X is one thing, and Win32 is another thing entirely. Linux has SVGALib programs that it can't display on an X screen. Likewise, NT has Win32 programs that it can't display on an X screen. Nevertheless, each OS can run X. Do you understand yet? > >you can't get around the fact that NT was designed as a >single-user system, > No offense, but you're full of it. If you can say with a straight face that NT was designed as a single-user system, you don't know the first thing about it. Please stop talking about NT until you know a bit about it; the embarrassment you save will be yours. Jerry jjs@ix.netcom.com
