I'll not go into ms vs unix other than to say unix is the choice of
free men.
What is interesting is what is required to "properly setup NT". I
use it on my desktop and it crashes at least once per day. Perhaps
because I bought an OEM version at a computer show? Perhaps because I
am using a Cyrix chip? Is my memory bad? Of course it crashes after
heavy use with at least 10-20 programs running. Why not just close
down programs? Why crash?
If I want to run NT should I only use intel hardware? Should I be
sure to only run approved software for NT?
