What is Microsoft Windows NT and why should you be interested in it? These questions are tackled in this book which addresses the issues relevant to commercial users and developers. It argues that Windows NT may radically change the face of computing and applications, and looks at three markets - discrete manufacturing, process manufacturing, and distribution, by way of example, as well as looking at typical products likely to benefit from it. The authors believe Windows NT is a serious challenge to UNIX. This book explains why, and discusses what makes Windows NT a technically good choice for applications development in the multi-user environment.
