Alright, I just had to write back :)

No, because they're a bunch of scumbags, we all know that :)  Actually,
better watch what I say here or the MSGang might come and attack me ;-)

I agree there, that's anoying.

I've never used Unix (infortunately), but NT seemed to work well for me in
that respect, maybe in more complex situations it falls.

> Most Unix servers stay online for months or years without restarting

That's not exactly what I meant, I just meant it does pretty well,
considering we always shut it down every few weeks, just to give it a rest.
I'm sure it could go longer.  The only thing I'm worried about is that one
day when we turn it back on, the hard drive will seize up!!!  (I've heard a
few cases of it happening, I just hope it doens't happen to me!)

>Pardon me, did you miss the part where I said I write software for NT and

No, just explaining it to anyone else reading, I understand fully that you
know your way around NT!  I was suprised to hear that it still is fixed
though, looks like MS has been lying... again...

I suppose it all comes down to what you want to use it for.  Obviously for
high-end work it is great, I guess for low-end work it isn't worth it.
