I agree that Windows NT/2000 is potentially very unstable. It is also potentially very stable - in the right hands.

Due to it being completely open in terms of software development, and due to the plethora of equipment it will run on from something you or I could throw together in 10 mins, to a multimillion dollar compaq cluster, you will get varying degrees of stability.

The fact remains that when professionally installed with quality software, it is more stable (in terms of downtime hours) than Solaris.

You will probably find in the applications you are discussing that the primary skills of the specifiers/users are in an area other than computer systems. Thus they will often have the systems installed by third parties (usually vendors) who will naturally try to make as much profit as poss by pushing an expensive system - hence the popularity of Sun based systems.
