You're mixing Kiwis with Bananas. Ok, lemme explain dummy, UNIX is more stable than NT has nothing to do with NT sale growth. UNIX' stability: Ask almost any person who's worked with both UNIX and NT. They'll tell you this: UNIX uptime is far greater than NT. FOr example, from experience, I had a HP box that was up for 18 monthns nonstop, except for when a power outage took place, and the machine was moved physically from one building to another. No crashes other than that. Other people might tell you they've had machines up for longer than that. Now, the NT growth sale.. all I can say has been said before but you refuse to listen. Mosty they're being used as file and print services. For those who use them for critical biz apps, well, they're screwed or about to be, of which where I work is such a place.. fortunately mgmt sees that and moving full force away from BSODs. What drugs are you usually on?
