Q.
I'm a Windows NT developer. Why should I care?
A.
If you wait for Microsoft Active Directory, your development track could get seriously behind schedule. With NDS for NT, Novell is confident when it comes to whose directory you'll want to leverage in an NT environment. NDS for NT means you can put "cool" network functionality (and value) into network applications, deliver them faster and with far less effort now. Since the entire NDS security and administration foundation is available to leverage, you can just plug services you need into applications without having to build all those directory pieces. And everything you do today with NDS for NT can easily be consumed by Microsoft Active Directory when it finally ships. If you're seeing opportunity, you are right. NDS for NT opens the door to next-generation NT development you can do today.
