You are kidding right? All OS projects take time to mature.
MVS is virtually crashproof but it's had 20 years of
development. Unix is getting better but at least some
implementations (including recent versions of Irix)
were almost notorious for their poor quality. You
probably remember the debacle with Best?

If you can discuss this rationally (and I've not seen any
evidence on this forum that the SGI employees are anything
other than rabid boosters), you'll describe an objective
measure with which we can benchmark the MS operating
systems with others to answer charges like yours.
