Please, it's even more invisible than NT. Of course UNIX still rules the server world, and probably will continue for a long time. But NT has made some succesful forays into the server world. We have started to use NT Server in a number of our client-server applications, although the bulk of the servers are still Suns. For enterprise-wide applications, I'd definitely put my money on Sun, but for the smaller solutions, NT has proven to be quite sufficient. I'd challenge you, however, to find a Mac being used as a server in my company. Mac just never fit into that role, except perhaps as a webserver. [snip]
