Agreed
We should not compare windows servers with windows clients which is too
often the case .
Windows servers ( at least mine) do not crash more than linux , we do not
need to reboot them . Most are up for months , and the rare crashes we have
are most of the time ,some lousy applications crashes in the same way we
recycle sometime an asid in MVS .
It is difficult when one is stopping and restarting CICS everyday to compare
apples with apples
As for security , there are more hackers in the world than MVS sysprogs or
MVS installation on this earth .
I definitely love my RACF security system and I definitely do not like
active directory and strange security techniques in windows , but on the
other hand it is easier for us MVS people without hackers around .
there is a saying from Corneille ( some old french writer)
"Winning without danger is triumph without glory"
Just thoughts ( no flak please :-)) )
