Military and NT

[claribba <claribba@jps.net>]

  This morning I read at:
  
  http://www.abcnews/sections/scitech/battle1124/
  
  that the Marines being "tired of Unix" have now switched to NT.
  
  I have no knowledge of NT, but wonder if it poses any security risks such
  as are to be found in WIN98.
  
  Will M$ be able to sign up the entire  US military?  
  
  In an unrelated note, do any of you rememer the "competitor's" upgrades M$
  was holding a couple of years ago?  If you had a version of Lotus 1-2-3 and
  would send in proof, you got a rebate when you ordered Excel.  There were
  other products with the same rebates.  Probably got a lot of people to
  switch using this as bait.
