I have a success story to the contrary - using Windows NT 4, Tomcat
3.2.1, and IIS 4 we are serving a decent sized application with no problems.
We've been averaging uptimes of about 5 - 6 days before the machine is
restarted because of other software on the machine. No detectable resource
loss, no crashes.
The biggest cause of most people's problems when scaling (that I've
seen and helped to fix) is that they use insufficient database drivers that
can't support the concurrent load (such as the JDBC-ODBC bridge that can't
support two concurrent users). Also, people tend to not remember that only
one thread can write to a file/socket at a time.
