Running on NT
Article Abstract:
The Wall Street stock market has been stunned by news of Media 100's chief executive John Molinari decision to change his low-cost desktop editing systems from Mac-based to NT Windows during 1998. Molinari believes the importance of NT Windows should not be overlooked in such an intense market. Media 100 was formed in 1991 by Molinari, eventually producing an annual turnover of nearly $10 million by 1995. Molinari's father resigned from the board of Media 100 in 1998 to allow the remaining executives to take a more active role.
