programming...unless.....can you play solitaire on Unix:)

PCs Stay Up and Running
Memory conflicts and missing or altered system files caused many of the
system crashes prior to Windows 2000. To put an end to these problems, we
changed Windows 2000 memory management to reduce the chance that software
applications will interfere with one another.
Applications runing in a seprate memory area...HMMMMMM Unix did that 15
years ago.
Fewer Reboots
Performing routine maintenance on your system requires significantly
fewer reboots, therefore less downtime, with Windows 2000. In addition, with
its support for Plug and Play, Windows 2000 automatically recognizes and
adapts to hardware changes. This means users can easily add hardware devices
such as scanners, DVD players, and speakers without rebooting, and with less
potential for user error.
Reboots are also reduced-and reliability increased-through the Microsoft
hardware device driver certification program. This program helps ensure that
hardware drivers are compatible with Windows 2000, and do not require a
reboot after installation. Certified drivers are tested and digitally signed
by Microsoft. If Windows 2000 detects a driver that Microsoft has not
digitally signed, it warns users about the risk before they install it on
their system<A

Not having to reboot after installing an application....Unix from it's
beginings.
How Much More Reliable Is Windows 2000 Professional?
Third-party studies that assess reliability from three different
perspectives-lab-based testing, customer-site measurement, and user
perceptions-conclude that Windows 2000 Professional is the most
reliable desktop operating system.
Highest Reliability in Production Environments
<A
href="http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/guide/professional/reviews/nstl.asp">NSTL
collected uptime data in the real-world environment of several customer
sites and concluded that the average system uptime between failures of
Windows 2000 Professional is 13 times more than that of
Windows 98 and three times more than that of
Windows NT Workstation 4.0.

The same prediction was made at least 5 years ago. At the rate
Microsoft is going, Windows will be a direct form of Unix. It becomes
more like it with every release.

Yea, but......
Win2K Datacenter will just decimate Unix. I predict
that, in 5 years, there will be two or three
Unix vendors, fighting over the 45% of the
market that DataCenter hasn't eaten.

Close. It's Dave Cutler. There's too much old
DOS/Windows backward compatibility for
WinNT/2000 to achieve stability like VMS despite Cutler's
leadership.
I knew VMS and you, Mr. NT, are no VMS!

NT is based on VMS (talk about a real OS) and if
my memory is good the guy's name is
Cutter.
Do I win a toaster ? a microwave oven ? a palm-pilot
