Stuff that's in this page may migrate over to that page (we'll see -- I haven't talked with the owner of that page yet). This page may disappear if so.
I run NT on a couple of laptops because (I felt had to make these excuses because almost all my colleagues run/ran Linux on their x386 machines)..
(a) I need to use various apps such as Word, Powerpoint, Dreamweaver, etc.;
(b) I wanted an OS that typically wouldn't crash when some app crashed (as compared to say win95 or MacOS);

(d) had been wondering what all the "PC" fuss was about.
However, it is worthwhile to notice and follow the fact that some office software suites, notably Corel's, are beginning to emerge on Linux and that down the road, that may be the route I take for those boxes (Indeed, my deskbound computer at Oblix is running Linux, with VMWare on top of that, and multiple instances of NT/win2k on top of that).
