It is its own OS, with (Billy Gates assures us) true multi-tasking/multithreading, meets DOD security specs, will run win3.1 programs as well as DOS programs, has multi-processor support, and isprimarily a Server program. It's overhead is too high for it to beeconomical for most users. Speaking of overhead, it requires at least a 386 with 16 megs of RAM. It iwll run with 12, but that's like running OS/2 2.0 with 4 megs. And that's just to run it. Also, I have heard that the system files take up 30-50 Megs, and it is recommended that your drive be a half gig! The SKD is distributed on CD-ROM.Chicogo is what I want to use. It is, like NT, a true OS with thrue multitasking and multithreading, but has much smaller hardware requirements, and does not meet DOD security specs (but that's okay since it will probably be more of a client OS). there are a few otehr differences, but those are the main ones. There was an article about Chicogo in PC Week last August. The Chicogo and NT development groups at Micro$oft are in intense competition, so it is said. However, I think a different relationship will arise: NT will be the server (*N*etowrk *T*echonology), Chicogo will be the client machine. It is entirely possible for different OS's to work together, partly because Chicogo is just a small NT (think of it that way, anyway). (Novell Netware creates an OS on the server that is truly not DOS, so don'tscorn the concept.) Anyway, don't expect it soon. Windows 4 and DOS 7 are supposed to be released next year (read: see it in 95), so I expect that Chicogo won't be out til '96. With luck, I'll be proven wrong! =)Rob |------------------------------------------------------------| \ rmohns@vax.clarku.edu / _________\ /________ \ Rob Mohns / ================================================== Annoy Rush Limbaugh.
