Good point Glenn.
Along with not rebooting every time you install or remove software.
And being able to logon to the machine without PC Anwhere, or
win2k telnet server or whatever, which is restricted to 2 sessions.
Need to get on the box? Just telnet or ssh over there and do
what you need.
No trying to hunt down who has the box locked up with PC Anywhere,
and then going to the computer room when you can't find who it is.

Please respond
to ORACLE-L
Exactly. There is bad code (and drivers) everywhere. Windows OS does not
protect itself as well as the unix OS. NT, 2000 and XP are all better than
98 in this realm, however. MS is finally getting the point. But the point
is valid. A bad program should core itself, not crash the OS. It is up
the OS to prevent this. I have worked on alot unix flavors in the past and
all of them behave better than MS in this aspect.
As far as which OS is best... "it depends" - on what you want to
accomplish...

I gotta disagree with you on one particular point here.
When an application gets a error and OS crashes, it IS
the OS fault. The OS should be written in such a way
that when an application error occurs, the OS doesn't
have to be rebooted. I believe it IS the OSes fault.
