The company I work for is still using WIN31. IMHO WIN31 or WIN95 were never
intended to be used as a corporate desktop system. They just don't have that
real mission critical attitude. My WIN31 crashes everytime I exit
reflections. However NT does come much closer to being a corporate desktop
system. I am sure we won't go to NT until 5.0 is released. But Still, NOTHING
can touch the rock solid reliability of the HP3000 running MPE. No matter if
it's the 16bit MPE or the 32bit MPE, it just keeps going and
going..............     ;-)
