Which again raises the question regarding what market segment NT is gearing 
for.  Based on previous threads, NT was going to be priced beyond the 
"average" stand alone user (and functionally beyond the needs of the 
"average" user), while OS/2 2.0 is offered as an alternative to the Windows
-MS DOS combo.  With 3.1 on the streets, maybe more info will be 
forthcoming on NT.
