All in all, a very good assessment of the blooming Windows NT market.
If you're interested in these topics, I've recently written articles
with similar projections that should appear as the cover stories for
upcoming issues of both Digital Video and A/V Video, about the latest
in video and 3D technology. Windows NT plays a big part in this.
One aspect Carl didn't mention is Intel emulation. Right now, MIPS
and Alpha AXP Windows NT include a 16-bit Intel Windows emulator.
The Intel-processor-compiled Word for Windows runs faster under
emulation on my DeskStation R4600 than it does on a 486/66.
Unfortunately, some recent Windows programs such as Caligari
trueSpace are 32-bit Windows applications that won't run under
emulation, but there are rumors that the emulators in future versions
of Windows NT will handle these, too.
And now IBM has said they hope to run Chicago on their Power PC-based
machine. And Apple will use PCI slots in upcoming machines, so you
might be able to use the same hardware card in several machines with
different software drivers, of course.
