Solaris for X86 has pretty much the same problems... How so? I've never heard anything about solx86 having a reliability issue. Let's throw Linux into the mix. After all, Solaris doesn't try to me the multi-purpose OS for commodity machines that NT and Linux do. Let's just take Linux and NT. Which one has tne reliability problems. Why? -JCJ

the reasons for the lower reliability of NT are, as Paul pointed out, more a result of the fact that MSFT can not control the configuration that the OS runs on, which can include any damn fool combination of hardware that someone can put together, than any design weakness. I can't think of a better endorsement of Solaris than this...
