They're demonstrating DV/X at Comdex this week... I stayed with the present-
ation for a while.  It's not thoroughly robust yet - but then, it's not
shipping yet either.  Initial network support will be for (if I remember
correctly) Netware, netbios, and FTP's tcp/ip kernel.  Looks pretty good,
but, unlike Windows, it doesn't attempt to "virtualize memory".

It is shipping to developers.
