I beta tested Windows NT for Microsoft in 1992 (maybe) with the system
that still is my home system (Tangent 486DX true 50Mhz, caching SCSI
adaptor) when I was looking for an answer to DOS not being able to use
the system very efficiently or dependably. I got NT to run until I
upgraded the BIOS on the SCSI host adaptor for larger disk drives.
Then NT quit working, would not reinstall, and Micro$oft told me that
I had SCSI termination problems. They told me that I had to prove to
them that there were no SCSI termination problems on my system before
they would put any effort into fixing the problem their OS had with
my system. That was when I first started using LINUX and I see now
that it was Micro$oft that introduced me to LINUX and I've been
grateful to them ever since, although I never show my gratitude by
purchasing any of their products.
