If you think that NT or Win95 can do anything you need, then you
aren't doing anything significant.
In my experience, you have to be at least slightly insane to want to
work with Unix. Now, when you throw in the fact that NT and Win95 can
drive any reasonably intelligent person crazy, it boils down to: if
you want it done now, use M$. If you want it done right, use Unix.
As my buddy Dave Kirchner said to me, "Windows 95 does it with shortcuts."
