Looking through Internet archives for nothing particular I ran into this gem of a thread: ‘Will NT destroy UNIX?’ (scroll up to go to the start). 1994, mind you.
Interesting (but old and now well known) computer tales about how Digital lost the famous IBM contract. Rumours that Novell was looking at Linux (eventually leading to engineers leaving Novell to found Caldera). Fast state-of-the-art PCs (386s). trolls.
The world has changed since then.
