`Full text: At Windows World in Dallas, Microsoft Corp. president Bill Gates announced Windows NT 3.5, now
`called "Windows NT Workstation" and "Windows NT Server. Microsoft intends to clarify the NT line by offering
`the Workstation as a solution for users who require extra security and memory protection. The Server has vastly
`improved performance over version 3.1, using 4 to 6M less memory, according to Microsoft.
`NT Workstation 3.6 offers memory protection for Win16 applications. One demo depicted a Win16 application
`purposely generating a GPF (general protection fault), while another Win16 app, Microsoft Word 6.0, ran
`alongside. The GPF didn't affect the Word app, since Win16 applications now run in separate address spaces.
`Windows NT Server 3.5 offers an IPX Stack, which lets it function as a NetWare server. This is accompanied by
`a Migration Tool for NetWare, which aids network administrators by copying user accounts and files from
`NetWare servers to a Windows NT Servers, while maintaining network security.
`Microsoft seeks to address the question, "Why bother with NT Workstation when Chicago (Windows 95) is just
`around the corner?" In fact, several critical components are missing from NT Workstation which will be in
`Windows 95, including support for DOS and Win16 device drivers. Both operating systems are full 32-bit
`implementations with multi-protocol support for TCP/IP, IPX/SPX and NetBEUI transport protocols. NT
`Workstation does offer the Win16 memory protection as well as C2-level security and automatic recovery
`features not included in the Chicago feature set.
`Many showgoers in Dallas were floored by NT 3.5's display of network prowess. One senior consultant called it
`"the best networking on the market by far." The demonstration showed an NT Workstation communicating in
`simultaneous sessions with two Novell servers, an SCO UNIX server, a Windows NT server and an Internet
`node.
`NT Workstation 3.5, priced at US$319 (US$99 for NT 3.1 upgrades), should be available by the time you read
`this. Microsoft, One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052, (206)882-8080, fax (206)883-8101.

`Full text: MICROSOFT CORP.'S pricing scheme for Windows NT 3.5, unveiled Sept. 21 with the product's
`launch at Windows World in Dallas, shows that the software giant is becoming more savvy about marketing
`enterprise technology.
`'The most important piece of our company's future is NT,' says Microsoft chairman and CEO Bill Gates. 'We've
`got $500 million invested in the NT family.'
`Microsoft's new version of NT should rouse interest in the operating system, which has lagged in the market, at
`least by the vendor's standards. NT 3.5 is a better product than its predecessor, NT 3.1 - faster, smaller, and
`with better connectivity to Novell Inc. NetWare and TCP/IP networks.
`NT 3.5 comes in two versions: NT Workstation, which costs $320, and NT Server, which costs $700 per server
`and $40 for each PC linked to any NT server. That's a switch from Microsoft's pricing scheme for the server
`version of NT 3.1, which cost $1,500 and offered an unlimited number of free client connections.
`Microsoft is trying to steer customers toward using NT Server on networks. For example, the unlimited peer-to-
`peer networking capability in NT 3.1 desktop is restricted to 10 peer connections in NT Workstation 3.5. Users
`wanting more connections have to use NT Server 3.5. The kicker: Upgrading from NT 3.1 desktop to NT 3.5
`Server costs only $149; to NT Workstation, it's $99.
`Perhaps Microsoft's most aggressive marketing move is a package of server -based applications called Back
`Office, which includes the SQL Server database, SNA Server host connectivity software, Systems Management
`Server network software, and an electronic-mail system. Back Office costs $2,200 per server, or $3,250 less
`than buying the products separately.
`Still, like NT Server, the real cost of Back Office is in client connectivity. It costs $300 per PC to access Back
`Office. 'Given NT's capabilities, the pricing sounds reasonable, but it is substantial,' says David Passmore,
`president of Decisis Inc., a consultancy in Herndon, Va.
`'What it basically comes down to is simplified licensing and tighter integration,' says Gates. Both AT&T Global
