At Bell Labs we skipped directly to the NT stuff, which may have been harder on the sysadmins but turned out to be much better on the users.
Heh. Heh. Heh. Three gigs ago, I was head of IT for a shop where the desktops were a mix of Win98SE and Windows 2000. Trust me: it was better for you and the users. The amazing thing to me about Microsoft's current position in the OS market isn't that NT succeeded -- there's actually a bunch of good things you can say about NT -- it's that nobody else managed to kick their ass during the Win95/98 era, because those things were every bit as bad as their reputation had it.
