Just Shut Up. And Then Put Up. In the coming year, enterprise computer customers will be bombarded by competing messages from Microsoft, Netscape, Banyan, and Novell.

Or as treacherous. Or as beset by claims, counterclaims and vaporware. In reality, it doesn't matter which directory you use for the next few years, as long as you are with one of the leading vendors. Don't get me wrong. Unfortunately, every vendor wants you to think that its proprietary system is the only safe choice.
