A.A.

aren't these IT guys the same folks who have thrown out NT in favor of Linux (which I find remarkable).

The fundamental limitations of NT make it remarkable that people would even consider using it on a server.

In a Unix system, you can execute a program on any machine from anywhere else on the network.

In an NT system, you have to be sitting at the console of the machine you are running the program on. Can you imagine the headaches this causes a network administrator who gets a call in the middle of the night? It means the difference between driving to work (NT) or logging on from home (Unix).
