Media reviews (Review of WebSite before release of WebSite 1.1) "I was an early supporter of Windows NT. Why? Because I saw that it had the same server capabilities as Unix systems, but with a significantly easier to use and more consistent user interface. Products like WebSite, a server from O'Reilly & Associates in Sebastopol, Calif., for the Windows NT and Windows 95 operating systems, are proving me right. Windows NT can compete effectively in the Internet server realm -- currently dominated by Unix systems.

"WebSite looked good when I reviewed the beta version (IW, April 3, p.58). Now shipping, it's a model of how to deliver a software product. In two minutes, WebSite can be installed and running with its full administrative graphical user interface.

"There are only four items in the WebSite box: a small card bearing a quick-start summary; a WebSite T-shirt (in lieu of the usual disposable padding material); two 3.5-inch diskettes; and WebSite documentation -- Building Your Own WebSite, a book by Susan B. Peck and Linda Mui. One-third of its 325 pages is devoted to Common Gateway Interface (CGI) development, that mystical feature that lets external programs share data with a Web server. It's one of the most readable treatments I've come across.
