We hashed over all this when this list first started. NT has multi-user
capability, extra (extra extra) security, a supposedly more robust file
system, multitasks slightly better (can service interrupt immediately
instead of waiting for a timeslice to finish), etc. How useful these are
on a laptop, or even for most users is questionable.
Alberto, I understand your loyalty to OS/2 - I used it since version 1.3;
but no product is better than the competition in all situations. Let's
drop this silly My-OS-Is-Bigger-Than-Yours bickering. Somebody answer
the original question the guy asked about NT on whatever model Thinkpad.
