File and Printer Sharing

• NetWare still reigns supreme, but Windows NT is coming up fast
• NTs native networking covers all the bases: PC/Windows, Macintosh, and TCP/IP (but NFS file sharing requires third-party software)
• No Unix implementation can rival NT's ease of setup and management
• However - Unix has better utilities and a wider freeware and shareware base
• NFS is the Unix standard for file sharing, and it's recently seen enhancements
• Windows PCs require special software to work as NFS clients, and only a few Windows NFS implementations deliver the benefits of native Windows/Windows NT's effortless peer networking
• NT is clearly a better choice for file and printer sharing
