The executive and planning teams need to make informed decisions as to when Windows NT Workstation will be deployed in the organization. They also need to decide whether to install Windows NT Workstation on all computers, or only on certain computers. The product documentation for Windows NT Workstation and the Windows NT Workstation Resource Kit provide much of the information these teams need. In addition, they should review information available online, including the following:
