Paul - No system is PERFECT, it's just that the MVS systems stay up better than others. I have a pretty good feel for how much effort and how many years it took to get MVS to where it is. I have a feeling it will be some time before those 35 million lines of code in Windows 2000 get to the same place...

Problems don't necessarily mean crashes (except in the Microsoft world <ggg>), they mean jobs abending, they mean someone setting parms wrong, they mean jobs not running correctly due to tuning problems, etc. etc. When you are dealing with multiple datacenters and multiple mainframes servicing ten of thousands of users, you will have problems. The key is that they are generally *NOT* of the 'system down' variety...
