the first two versions of NT were dogs, but 3.1 and 3.51 were okay.
Don't forget that the engine and core development for NT was sound. Four
of the core VAX/VMS coders started the project before MS bought it out,
and until v4 MS hadn't done a lot with the code to screw it up.
Marketing, Novell just haven't got the machine out of first gear yet :-(
