FW-1 can run over a large number of OS. You can get FW-1 for WinNT, Solaris, Linux, BSD . Each has the strengths and weaknesses of the underlying OS. Also FW-1 can run on a large number of hardware platforms, PCI, Compact-PCI, Sparc, etc. Each has it's strengths and weaknesses. You can eliminate the WinNT versions. Who wants to reboot their firewall daily? I prefer the PCI hardware, when a system goes down it is nice to be able to run to a local PC store for spare parts instead of waiting for overnight priority service.
