Well, ya know, I don't see how a supposedly responsible corporation like SAMS
publishing could blunder a product launch so badly.  Seems that NT 4.0 Unleashed
hit the shelves on a timely basis. Where the hell did they get the writers for that?
There's maybe 1.5 million copies of NT in use, max. How many of those actually are
programmers, admins, etc. It's just another example of bowing to the "stats quo",
and we all know who that is.

I'm sorry, I'm disgusted because now I don't have a decent book to recommend to my
OS/2 customers. Those IBM books suck.
