Re: [IMail Forum] NT4 vs Win2000 on Saturday 12:51:54 PM
We had similar experiences recently. We started moving to
W2KServer only to find it broke the ActiveState ISAPI Perl in
IIS. We replaced W2KServer with NT4 and have no problems. We use
Perl a lot in our sites. Active State has a solution, which is to
run the Perl.Exe which operates without multithreading and at
about 100 times slower speed. Really disgusting when you have
already invested in W2KServer... We also are observing Java
developers who just upgraded to W2KSP3 having problems with the
SDK when SP2 people don't.. NT4 was never a problem at all, go
figure.
