I am a network administrator. We run NT and Netware in different areas of the company. One particular Netware server has been up 192 days... I never get around to rebooting it. I guess I should. Actually I never even turn on the monitor! It just works.

The NT servers have to be constantly rebooted. There are always mysterious problems with the print ques on them. If I dont restart them now and then everything slows down.

I cannot *imagine* MCI trying to run anything critical on NT servers. It would be a disaster. NT is just still too flakey. Where it is a threat to other NOSes is in the small office environment like ours, and even here they are a pain in the ass... But it keeps me in a job. I guess I really owe it to Microsoft.

Man. If there were as many problems with the adding machines, copiers, printers, etc etc in this office as there are with computers running a MS OS this company would never be able to do business. Since Microsoft has a monopoly on the OS of the desktop machine which is a needed office too in todays business world people just seem to accept the problems they have with their computers. What choice do they have?

Maybe someday this will change. I hope so.

James

Cause when MCI told Microsoft "where they wanted to go today" Nevermind tomorrow - Microsoft didnt have an answer.
