Jawohl, Chicago is true 32 bit. There are three major distinctions
(to my mind) between Chicago and NT. 1) NT has a lot more support
for being a network OS in addition to a desktop OS. 2) NT has a
much better protected mode for stopping bad apps from crashing the
whole system. 3) NT can use symmetric multiprocessing. i.e., I
want to double my speed, so I buy an extra processor and drop it in.
That's a crude description, but essentially correct.
