New "POLL" is a farce, period

Posted by: rmoyers
Date posted: Sat, 14 Jun 1997

Your results are from desk drones idle enough
to be reached by phone.

you would have little chance of catching me
at my desk for example.

The person that would pick the norton product
or any other silly romper room winblows network
tool that serves the same function as a
fisher price crib toy for infants show the caliber
of the person that responded in your poll

everyone knows that all the good robust usefull
network tools are unix snmp based aplications
too important to trust to mickysoft crashware

if i was to pick a tool, it would be MTRG

Multi Router Traffic Grapher

not some winblows idiot cribtool from fisher price

how about using your own argument against you

Here are the numbers posted in PC Week
March 17,1997 for NT in the report
"NT Myth and Reality" published by
Forrester Research

Year Units shipped
1995 300,000
1996 468,000
1997 651,000
1998 814,000
1999 936,000
2000 1,0076,000

There just wont be a large NT presence
for developers to make money untill after
2001
By 2001, there could be 6 million units

you discounted the OS/2 win due to its at the time
15 million+ installed base.

the installed base of NT is only a fraction of OS/2
, and unix systems for that matter

you tossed out the OS/2 results due to your own personal bias
about the small installed base of OS/2

well i must toss out your results based on the even smaller
installed base of NT.

i conclude that your poll is a farce.
