      Basicly, that's what a workstation is. However, there was once this small
    company called Microsoft and these BIG company called IBM. One was producing
    some insignificant OS for a home computer, while the other was dominating the
    enterprise market. Now, one of these is but a fraction of what it once was,
    while the other is bigger than anyone would ever imagine. And those who made
    it happen, are the small consumers like you and me, the small buck consumer
    who has to use these enterprise computers to do work but the only thing they
    truly are familiar with is the system they use at home today. But the
    emerging user, is the enthusiast just like yesterday, the one that expands
    the use of his little home computer to do more than it was produced to do.
    They're what is going to decide what systems are used in the enterprise
    tomorrow, and what systems are they chosing today?
