Schmandel - if you really have experienced the kind of problems you describe, I can only assume that the systems and tech people are incompetent. Industry numbers don't support your rant.

Any honest and knowledgeable professional in this business knows that there are jobs Unix does a lot better than NT. Likewise, there are lots of jobs where Unix can't cut the mustard - that's why mainframes and high-reliability systems still have a market. But it is also true that there are jobs where the MSFT stack is clearly the best solution. The functionality and reliability of Intel-based desktops running the MSFT stack is good enough. Network and server problems are a bigger source of user downtime in any large shop.
