Are you sure this isn't just a knee jerk response. We have 2000 servers
running line of business apps that have been up for (checks uptime) 118
days. The downtime was for power work. Setup correctly windows 2000 *is* a
stable OS. Now I'm not suggesting that we move apps supporting 10,000 users
across to win2k from Solaris or HPUX or whatever, but windows is now a
perfectly satisfactory server operating system. Moreover in this particular
case the application appears to be a single table app storing logs or stats
or some such.
