rotating colored ball Looking Ahead: Windows 98 & NT 5.0
1998 will be remembered as a good year for Windows: not one but two major opearting system revisions are scheduled: Windows 98 and NT 5.0. Windows 98, often seen as the lesser of the two, actually represents the culmination of a very significant stride toward bringing the junior Windows 95 base dramatically closer to the to the feature set of NT itself. In this seminar we will correct much of the misinterpretation of much of the technical press that Windows 98 is a relatively cosmetic upgrade, by looking not only at the user-oriented features but also under hood for the critical architectural advances. We will also examine the core of high-end new features and services taking NT 5.0 into a true Enterprise operating system of rare sophistication. Throughout we provide both a critical examination of new platforms, as well as an exploration of some of the major problems and issues asociated with the pending migration as it impacts on both the personal user and the Enterprise.
