We use just about everything out there. Unix - Sun Solaris and HP handle most of the really intense number crunching tools, CAD tools, ananlysis tools NT - CAE tools, SPICE simulators, timing analyzers etc., gradually moving more tools to this OS. Win 95 - A few engineering tools, but mainly word processing and other software in the MSOffice suite. The PC network has a hard time handling our large network. NT does much better. Unix is nearly flawless. As far as Win 98 goes, if we have a fraction of the problems we had when we transitioned to Win 95, I hope we don't get it for a long time!
