With the recent announcement of NT 4.0 availability, I am pondering
installing NT 4.0 on my thinkpad ( certain applications I need won't
run under Win95 ). The only problem is that Microsoft seems to be
back peddleing on that availability of the notebook power support and
the plug and play support.
I noticed that Digital is shipping NT 4.0 with its top of the line
notebooks. I can only assume that they have written proprietary
support. Has anybody heard anything from Mircosoft, IBM, etc. about
the availability of these features for older IBM Thinkpad ( e.g. my
755cx ). I would prefer to upgrade, but I don't want to wait for
Cairo like Microsoft suggests.
Looks like Microsoft has done it again. I am caught between a rock
and a hard place. Any input would be appreciated. After all, I may
be missinterpreting the trade rags. I would be interested in hearing
some pros and cons on Win95 vs. NT 4.0 for Thinkpads.
