When properly configured, Windows can be reliable, maybe not as much as Solaris or HPUX but certainly some releases of Linux (which I use as well). You don't see Oracle or IBM avoiding Windows 'cos it isn't stable enough. > Before you respond to this, read Tom Lane's response and > reply to that. *I* did.
