I agree that You have a point here, but I think the biggest reason was that NT is a very clean OS with a good internal design, who makes it very easily portable. Also remember that Linus first developed Linux specifically for the 386 CPU, and didn't design it to be portable at all. He had to do some major rewrites of it before porting it to other CPU:s. -- Martin Nisshagen martin@mts.se (MIME 1.0) "verdi + callas = MTS Technology, Sweden http://www.mts.se/martin 100% pleasure..."
