RE: OT NT2K vs Unix.

Given that "most" db problems are app-centric, and a healthy majority of *any* datacenters' downtime is human-error related, it seems to be that the route to stability is through the enhanced learning of the operator/developer/administrators. And learning requires open minds and for things like technology, frequent refreshing....

But that is just my opinion. It may actually be the case that the way to improve something is to castigate, excoriate, and denigrate.  But, I need to continue my observations on that topic.

Hey, I saw the ads on TV.  Microsoft now makes enterprise software, which gives sa's peace of mind...

It always amazes me how companies identify a problem, then create ads to turn people's perception around.  So now Microsoft is telling people that their systems are reliable and never crash, so system administrators can relax.

Hopefully with Win2K they actually fixed the problems, and are not just posting ads on TV to turn people's perception around to boost sales.

Eventually I will figure out how the world works.  It's taking me a while, though.

        There is, however, one significant difference: stability. If
Microsoft
        starts making stable
        products, we might just as well start using them, but  knowing
Microsoft,
        I'm not overly
        worried.
