I happend to attend the normal Usenix LISA conference 3 months later and this incident was reported by people who where there. Another relevant info that was presented was that a poll of the attendees (sys-admins on large installations) concluded that Windows-NT was very lacking in CLI facilities for serious use at enterprise environment. The interesting bit was, that even when they counted only people with 6+ years of *windows* experience (i.e: Windows hard core admins at big companies), more than 70% had the same filling. MS people were really puzzled (CLI must be an old art that should die when people get accustomed to the modern GUI world, isn't it?) They took notice and said W2K would be a different story...
