I agree with Stewart. We had Solaris server as well as NT systems.
We generally have NT crashing or need of rebooting ...but in case of Solaris
we rarely need rebooting. I rate Solaris and even HP-ux performance better
than NT. Early of this year we observe power problems in our office. We
found NT crashing many times but Solaris never.

Subject: RE: Why not NT
I have been watching this go by with some delight......but foolishly
didn't collect it. If there's someone that did and has the 'full story',
would you please send it to me?
We had our own fun with NT on a web server (which IS did not run,
but was informally managed)....it would crash 1-3 times a week. The
kiss-off came when the web server....which is the official Admissions
window-to-the-world crashed over a weekend....then a prospective
student couldn't get on but thought the address was wrong and so
went poking around until they found the college newspaper web
page (on another server, Unix, which we serve).
Now our college is a *very* free-spirited place and makes a point of
freedom-of-everything, never mind freedom-of-speech...and this
prospective fresh-person poked around further and came across the
S&M page on an old issue.
Result: The detonation was awesome. We are assuming
responsibility for the web server and installing Solaris on it.
The S&M page? It stays.....freedom-of-speech.
