I don't feel that there is much difference between the "stability" of Solaris and NT. The big issues, to me, rather, are: 1. Scalability 2. On-the-fly configuration With Intel's problems with 4-way processing on their newest chip, Sun should retain the scalability advantage for the forseeable future. This still wouldn't have gotten Microsoft to the same level of scalability as Sun, but would have gotten them closer. I can't believe that anybody running a web site, or any other kind of 24x7 operation, tolerate an operating system that requires you to reboot even for fairly minor upgrades and installations. Installation of application and system software under Solaris rarely requires a reboot. NT requires a reboot every time you sneeze.
