I was also curious, and indeed, somewhat infuriated by this obviously
FUDish remark. I guess he would prefer a Windows single point of
failure. My guess is he was refering to the server administration
feature of W2K, to let knuckleheads point-n-drool manage their farms
of servers[1]. Similar programs exist for high-end unix like Solaris,
so you can chalk this one up to plain ole FUD.
[1] Naturally, you need a separate box (with its own CPU, ram, drives,
etc, and preferably with a backup system) to run each W2k application
because running more than one service on a windows box is not
recommended by MS themselves.
