RE: NEWSWire/400 - 3.30.00

[Joel Fritz <JFritz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dr. Frank seemed pretty excited about this at Common.  I think he mentioned
it at both the presentations I saw.

I'm guessing:

1. It probably won't happen, or it may get started and suffer the same fate
as the original NT on PowerPC initiative.

2. If it does happen, it will be isolated in a way that won't bring the
whole system down when the inevitable crashes occur.  A better Win2000 than
Win2000.  <g>
