And if you use a product like "Secure Workplace Professional" 
for OS/2, you can add C2 level security for less $$$ than Windows
NT will cost you...

You get the best of both worlds: home users don't have to pay 
for/configure/use security features they don't want or need, and 
corporate users can get comparable security for less money than 
Windows NT.
