NC

Is there a good reason for Norton Commander to be the notable product? I would have thought that Norton Utilities would have been. It has been around longer, and I believe it had sold more copies while Peter Norton Computing still existed as an independent company. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.163.246.58 (talk • contribs)

I personally strongly think that Norton Commander is a notable product too! It was a fairly decent, and maybe the only one, file manager back in the MS-DOS command line days, and it spun off many clones back then (Volkov Commander) and its legacy lived into a version for Windows, but then Windows Commander (now Total Commander) was on the rise (and it is pretty much popular nowadays), so I guess NC was abandoned. And of course Midnight Commander, the Linux NC-lookalike, has been inspired by NC, too! --Vlad|-> 17:56, 8 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Merger proposal

So someone put a merge tag on the main article page, but didn't bother starting a discussion on it? That's reason enough to drop the suggestion. But OK, let's discuss now. I disagree, PN the person is separate fromo PNC, they just overlap. I fanything, PNC would be merged into Symantec. Dovid (talk) 21:35, 26 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I also disagree. Griffinofwales (talk) 15:37, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
