Amen.

BTW, I don't think I have patched anything on our NT4 production systems 
since September :) Now, if only assigning a new IP wouldn't require 
rebooting :(
The biggest problem we have is a bug in CF (confirmed) which requires me 
to restart the CF App Service every night.

Having said that, there are some things to say for *nix e.a. A small 
example is that in my experience it is much more likely to be able to 
fix something remotely as on Windows. Also, there is a lot more choice. 
The difference in emphasis that developers place on what they want their 
OS to do are quite big. I find it hard to compare the early 2.4 Linux 
kernels and their memory problems with for instance OpenBSD, which 
focusses on security and stability. And the same goes for hardware (or 
does anybody want to run Windows on his Blade 1000 or his IBM mainframe?).
