As for NT being secure? ROFL BHOW :-))))))))

By Industry standard do you mean "spend a fortune because being left
behind would be costly, only to find that bill has decreed a NEW INDUSTRY

Or do you mean by industry standard "computer Industry Standard";
Postscript L1 and 2, PDF, CSV, TIFF, GIF, Tab formulated, Vector, data
stream HTML3.2 etc etc.
