I think it's a given that it won't be a stronghold in the home market, but the "business" part depends on the type of business you're talking about. If you're talking technology companies, manufacturing, and places that UNIX is now, I think it'll be a while before UNIX is kicked out. The places that use PCs will continue to use PCs. There are consortiums that have already standardize UNIX for different hardware platforms (88K, PowerPC), mainly so you can get a binary to run from whatever machine you have. You'll never see "one UNIX", at least I hope not. There will always be a need for specialized UNIX systems, whether they are in real-time, security, transaction processing, or whatever. I don't see NT taking over those anytime soon. Steve
