All, Interesting comments regarding OS selection. Of course, this has been covered in the past at great length.
Let me add my 2 cents. NT is a very viable option if it is being administered by a competent NT Admin who does not treat the box like a home desktop. I have been working on NT boxes for two years now, and have seen the worst and best it has to offer. The worst is when it is not respected as a true operating system. The best is when it is managed carefully and with great fore-thought. I have not experienced *any* of the comments made in this thread - like rebooting every so often. I have very stable, powerfull machines that are being managed by the best NT admins I have every seen, and they are performing very nicely, thank you. In my opinion, they are a viable platform solution.
