I don't think it is Windows NT, and would be really curious how much of it is OS/2 and how much is UNIX of some kind. >I know that OS/2 alone has a lot bigger market share than NT and all Unix >versions together. >In fact it's the worlds most common 32-bit mulitasking OS. > You seem to be forgetting that UNIX of different flavours is the OS used most on the Net. Some of the servers run NT, but OS/2? 0,01% probably. BTW, many people who want to run Linux, don't have to buy a system with any other OS preinstalled. They may buy pure hardware in this case. This may explain the remaining 22.4% And OS/2 is far from from the most common 32bt OS! -- ========================== (((((can_sea@deepcove.com)))))) @ beautiful British Columbia@ nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnaaaaaa kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
