Brandon, >>make sure to contact your hardware people before jumping<< I was just talking to my HW guy today, and he felt we were safe, but Artisoft woul be the real ones to ask I guess. I've started checking with diff. software manufac.'s too, and so far OK. The only thing strange is that the jump Win/95 is making with it's GUI in the lastest Beta sounds superior to NT, but its still just a DOS OS as far as I'm concerned…no mattter when it comes out (1996?<g>). I'm sure they will follow with a NT facelift soon after, and WinNT 3.5 is REAL and around for purchase TODAY. I talked to RobertMcNeal & Assoc. (AccuRender) and they said Acad13/NT is the most stable OS they have on their HP Vectra/Dual Pent 90's and Intergraph VT4(?)duals, as development platforms, which was encouraging to hear. I would really be nice if 3DStudio 4 could some how tap into the NT OS directly and no require this separate boot. What I didn't realize until today is that I can leave my Win/3.11 on the HD when I install NT if I need to acess it if something goes wrong with an app. in NT. Sort of like starting off with training wheels I guess<g>.
