The UNIX versus NT Organization is dedicated to setting the facts straight
about the various commercial and Open Source UNIX operating systems as
they relate to Microsoft Windows NT. The organization is neither a legal
entity, nor does it engage in profit generating activities. Although the
large commercial vendors of UNIX hardware and software like Digital, IBM,
Hewlett Packard, Silicon Graphics, Sun Microsystems, etc. may benefit from
our activities, we do not solicit their financial support, nor have they
ever offered any support.
Some Microsoft/NT enthusiasts may view this organization as an
anti-Microsoft movement. This would be a poor description of what we are
about. The Kirch Paper, currently the organization's core article, does
deliver some serious blows to NT specifically, but it is ultimately
Microsoft's responsibility for any flaws or defects in the design of their
own operating system, not the author's. Certainly a company the size of
Microsoft with its financial assets should be capable of competing with
software written by volunteers, yet it is obviously having difficulties in
this area.
