That's the rough equivalent of what Linux creator Linus Torvalds did at Spring Comdex yesterday when he predicted his maverick operating system will crush Microsoft. Still, Linux continues to make progress.
Truth is, the job just got harder.
One thing that really motivates Microsoft is competition. The same way Netscape did when it boasted its browser would crush Microsoft. The same way Sun did when it said Java would stomp Windows. The same way Lotus did when it said Notes would trample Exchange. But it's making no dent in Windows NT's growth as the standard OS for departmental servers.
