Enough already with the NT/Alpha! ;)

I've seen NT sputter and die on machines that were all on the HCL, namely
IBM Intellistations that you yourslef recommend. And if 3 MCSE's were
doing something wrong on these machines (and no, they weren't installing
strabge stuff or editing the registry, etc) then that's the scariest OS
I've seen in my life.
