i can only relate my personal experience. i had troubles with 7.3.4 on
NT 4.0 when the datafiles got beyond about 1GB in size. we got lots of
read errors, disk IO errors and crupted blocks. but that was on one
instance and one server. that's the only experience i've had with NT.
all my other experience has been on unix and VMS, and i've never had any
problems other than hardware failures and user error.;-)
