I'm only defending against the stupid lies here and in the Linux community.
If you made an argument that Linux is better because.... that's OK. If you
start spreading lies like NT crashes left and right, I know it not to be
true. We are running a billion dollar business on it.

Sam, why are you defending M$ with so much heart? All issues aside
regarding which platform is 'better' and look at the big
picture. Do you want your kids' education dictated my M$? How about giving
them more than one choice by the time they're old
enough? This is partly why I've taken on Linux. M$ has devoured everything
in its way (on the old battle field). Remember this
rule: You Can't Compete With Your Supplier. Plus, is it not American to
support the underdog?

I know this a joke but know what you are talking about before you speak -
Windows 2000 is extremely stable and does not require reboots. I have been
running it for almost 6 months now as my primary system including using huge
server applications like SQL Server 7.0, and other things like Visual Studio
6.0, Borland's JBuilder and IT HAS NOT CRASHED ONCE. NO REBOOTS. The NT Team
did an analysis of all situations in which re-boots are required in NT 4.0
and came up with 78 situations. All but three have been eliminated. Change
TCP parameters? No reboots. So I would caution you to have experience with
what you speak of or you just spreading around crap and FUD and that is
un-professional.
