They are ending BOTH Performance Computing AND Windows Systems Magazine??
With PerfComp no more, there is no other Unix mag out there but 
Server/Workstation Expert (formerly Sun Expert).  And Windows Systems Magazine
was a great NT admin mag that served as a good counter to Windows NT Magazine
and more blantenly pro-MS NT rags like M$ Certified Pro.  As a NT admin, I
found the columns and articles in Windows System Mag to be great.  Windows NT
Mag has nothing like them.

Sorry, don't agree.  I get some of those mags and NONE cover the same areas
as PerfComp & Windows Systems.  These two were aimed at SUPPORT people, not
IT buyers.  These others just don't aim at those areas.

Stupid.
