Yeah...the university here has lots of Windows boxes. They also have 4
Sun 4/690's...the number of people who use those 4 machines (probobly 1
licensed copy of SunOS for 4 machines and a bunch of users) is probobly
greater than the number of people who use the several thousand copies of
Windows that are installed...
