Rauf, evidently you haven't used Win2K. Hold off fire till you try it. You will NEVER post such a stupid post again.

Re: "DUMB are the people who have designed, developed, sold, bought and use an OS that needs to reboot itself ever so often." I wonder, do you also think the same of designer's, developer's, seller's and buyer's of planes, trains and automobiles? Also wonder why in the world does SUNW put a power on/off switch on their machines? TTOSBT

Rauf - SUNW's actual field MTBF on their larger systems (UE10000 and UE6500) is less than 98.5, not exactly a testimonial to high reliability. You are obviously taking a partisan position based on your own experience. Real world data suggests that well designed systems running Win2K have better MTBF (i.e. better reliability) than well designed systems running Solaris on UE10000. The factors keeping SUNW in the saddle have nothing to do with reliability.
