My 2c.
I actually think it's a bit of both (is this a Foote in both camps?:-)
IMHO, if Windows servers were set up and maintained by people with the same
degree of professionalism as the guys who do our Unix Admin, the comparisons
might be more meaningful.
It was the same in the old days of file and print serving; the Novell
specialists installed it, then left the damn thing alone; and it carried on
quite happily. Then came M$ networking, and the amateurs came along and
couldn't (wouldn't?) read the manual, nor resist the temptation to fiddle
with production boxes...
This isn't to assert the superiority of one OS over another; IMHO, these
days, your mileage will depend more on who is doing the driving.
