If I take a look at OSF's DCE, or Sun's DOE and DOMF, it seems to me
that the world is indeed going to a client-server paradigm, away from
peer-peer. These client-server systems are supposed to scale to many
millions of machines and many millions of users. What do you have in
mind when you say:

	"I believe the workstation world now is moving more to
	peer-peer computing in a truly distributed manner."

I find that very hard to believe.
