I have just seen a few of the threads regarding the move to NT and all the commotion it seems to be stirring. FWIW I thought I would drop in my two cents.. (why, I have no idea… ) We develop on NT using MSV C++ (CDK apps) . Although the change from Metaware and Watcom that we were using before was a bit to overcome for a few days, it really wasn't too bad. The ports of the code were really a breeze and the advantages of NT and the new compiler have more than made up for any effort needed. Although the hardware configs are still pretty tough, coming from the wayback machine of mainframes long ago, it was actually kind of refreshing to get back to a real operating system with security and monitoring capabilities again. IMHO, I wish everyone would just move to NT instead of Windows 95, and MicroSoft would concentrate on getting NT right instead of messing around with all this interim garbage. I have not kept up with all the info on this new move to NT for 3D Studio but I am of course assuming that it will use Visual C++ and those of you that have not used it before will be wonder soon how you ever got along with out it. The debugger alone is magic in terms of the time you save. I am not a full time coder myself, but I never had a debugger before that popped you directly to the line of your source code that caused the problem for you. You don't even have to go look for it. Maybe others do that too and I am just unaware… but for us it has been GREAT and I'll bet that you are all really glad that Yost and company made this decision next year at this time….
