NT may be gaining ground at the department and/or workgroup level. There're compelling choices when you look at large enterprises. SUNs Starfire (Ultra Enterprise 10000) is making significant inroads as the computing power shifts toward the back-end.

What kind of mission critical systems are you talking about ? Could you provide some metrics ? size, #of users, and soforth. There have been some objective posts on this thread in regards to Solaris and NT. The current version (enterprise edition) of NT still has ways to go in terms of addressing key technical issues (scalability, clustering, load balancing, et.al). When they do address that overtime, don't forget the price/performance, and administration costs. Let us compare apples with apples objectively instead of getting carried away by marketing hype.

Have you heard of a release date for NT 5.0 ?
