Do you think NT4 was a worse product that netware ?

• nabla9 9y ago
  You remember only the end. MS-NET, LAN Manager and MS/IBM joint effort with OS/2 LAN Server were all inferior to Netware. MS battled decades against Novell with inferior products and shady market practices eating their profits. Finally Novell was taken down and crumbled when networking became a core system component in PC operating systems. Throwing money against to superior product from smaller competitor until you can eat their lunch is proven tactic.

    So what you're saying is you can displace an entrenched competitor by putting in enough money to end up with a superior product? That seems... reasonable.

      Not at all and you know it.

        No, I don't know it. What do you mean?
