Network administrators in big companies love Unix because it's robust and responsive, and hate NT because it isn't. The NT administration model is very different from other operating systems and is widely regarded with suspicion. NT 5.0 is expected to be a major upgrade precisely because it will have a new administration model based on a new directory system called Active Directory.Now that NT has made inroads into the enterprise market, IT personnel are naturally nervous about the transition to Active Directory. Most books on NT -- and there are a lot of them -- explain NT features and functionality without explaining how it runs in the real world. That's like explaining how a Jaguar can do 180mph without explaining that it overheats in traffic.Our bookstore accounts are reporting that their customers want an administrator's perspective on NT.
