The following is what I got from Window NT conference:

1. Window NT is a operating system for
   INTEL x86
   MIPS

2. Window NT supports multiprocessors architecture system.

3. It has all the UNIX functionalities:
   security
   network
   file system (mount)
 \
4. It reboot just like DOC(push buttom),
   take only one minute on INTEL 486/50
   machine (much better than UNIX)

5. price only less than $500

So, we might need watch this new product.
It will become the major operating system in the future.
So all product we all doing now, need 
consider the portability.

As Wen mentioned, Windows NT has some very attractive features and, in my 
opinion, would be a wonderful development platform.  The beta test versions
are available now by calling 800-227-4679 and come in two flavors:

	$69	CD-ROM only.  Includes C compilers (both x86 and MIPS), tools
		and doc in PostScript format.
	$399	Above with printed manuals.

The above price includes the next developer's release which is scheduled
for Sept. 92.  Consumer version slated for shipping at the end of '92.

If enough people are interested, I would be happy to convey what the 
conference offered and give a general overview of NT.  If not, please
feel free to stop by and borrow the literature supplied by the conference.
Both Wen and I have received the complete SDK, and several others here will
also be receiving the CD-ROM.

In ee$userdisk:[audio.windows.nt] I have placed three files:

	0692hw.txt	; Hardware that NT currently supports in July beta
			; release
	hwfeed.txt	; Form for you to fill out to send to MS outlining
			; the hardware you would like NT to support
	isbstep.exe	; Utility that determines if your particular 386
			; machine will run NT.  If GOOD is displayed your
			; 386 will run NT.  (All 486 and MIPS R4000 processors
			; work fine as far as I know).
