I think Bill Gates has a swelled head.  More to the point I would recommend
that people who want to switch be cautious for two reasons:

1.  The obvious, as stated above - NT will not be ready for the big
     time in the foreseeable future.

2.  MPE has most of the capability desired.  Switching systems to
    achieve bebulous goals has proved to be a chimera in many well
    documented cases.  Conversions are seldom rewarding and almost
    always over budget and time lines.

Now if only HP will realize this and market the 3000 hard and
effectively.

Hang in there, guys.  You have nothing to fear but fear itself!

WOW, did I say that? (well Ok, so it was borrowed).
