McIlroy--Managing Mixed Platforms

A lot of the challenges surrounding mixed-platform publishing have to do with servers. The majority of Macintosh publishing networks no longer rely on Macintosh computers as servers. Windows NT is the favorite, followed by UNIX, and then by the Mac. As friendly as Macs may be for publishing, UNIX boxes from Sun, Silicon Graphics and others make far better servers, better than Windows NT. While Windows NT is the fastest-growing server platform, UNIX is more versatile and stable, albeit potentially more difficult to configure and maintain.
