Unix Versus NT : 15
pages in length. Battles have long been
waged and lost throughout history, but there is nothing quite
like the technological competition that is being pursued between
Microsoft Windows NT and Unix systems. At the very
beginning of the server war nearly two and a half years ago,
Microsoft Corp. introduced Windows NT as a direct competitor
of the ever-popular Unix system. Vendors that distributed Unix

immature to ever establish itself in the same category. The
writer discusses whether or not NT has proven itself as a viable
competitor to Unix. Bibliography lists 10 sources.
