I know that thereare many of other unix possibilities out there, but this includesthe Wabi (Windows API Binary Interface...I think) technology that wilrun Windows apps straight outta da box.  If this flies in enhanced mode,then here's another contender to look out for in the corporate/educationmarket.Too big and complex for the home front...Windows 4/Mac Sys7 will take thosewhile Win4Wkgrps - NT - OS/2 will fight it out for the small-to-mid businesses.However, once the PowerPC becomes available (especially in laptop/notebook form)then these will migrate into all markets....the ability to connect up to a unixmachine at work and yet still run Windows/Mac apps at home is going to be realattractive to alot of people!!!Just my predictions.Mike-- ___________________________________________________________________________  Mike Bendtsen                    (msbendts @ mtu.edu)   740 Elm St.  Apt#4        CCLI Senior Technical Consultant   Hancock, MI  49930        Michigan Technological University
