Now why would anybody want to use a vastly inferior product that runs only
on a rather unreliable and insecure platform, capped by the fact that you
lock yourself into a pay-pay-pay cost spiral when yoou can have a superior
product for free?
Honestly, I can understand when people still choose one of the Windows
flavours as their desktop operating system. But I can't think of one single
reason where NT would beat BSD or Linux as a server operating system, and
IIS can't really excite me when I can have Apache with is countless free
extension modules. No wonder that NT/IIS is a minority (and will remain a
minority according to current statistics) on the net.
