Getting an NT-server 24h x 365d ready costs you nothing less than a "real" UNIX-solution. Just because NT gets you into point and click mode, that doesn't mean any idiot can maintain such a thing. In the end NT-servers are like a gold mine to consultants to get the clients out of the results of "idiot-administration" ("We don't need an admin on our NT server. From now on that's the janitor's job!")
Just my 0.02$.
