  1. Talk matter-of-factly of "transition from NT" by cthompso · · Score: 5

    As noted above, one sentence from HP's announcement is deadly for MS: "..a transition course for Windows NT administrators"
    I've worked around PHB's for years. This sort of subtle matter-of-fact statement, repeated over time, drives decisions. Silly but true. We should consciously emphasize that NT is legacy stuff. Use the word "still" whenever NT and Windows comes up. "We're still using a lot of NT" ... "OK, so you guys are still on NT" ... "most places still have a lot of NT, so that Win32 client makes sense"....are you still on Windows?
