Let's try comparing NT to other systems running similar hardware. I have Red
Hat Linux boxes which would barely bat an eye at running for two years. My
NetBSD boxes are even more stable than that for the most part. We run both
Linux and NT as RADIUS servers, email servers, and web servers, but we find
that the Linux boxes are faster, more configurable, and more stable. And
yes, this is at an ISP. And yes, we do have NT experts here. No, NT is not
better.

NT has done a commendable job considering its youthful age as an OS and
considering that only one company has done the development (Unix systems
having been swapped and shared and bugfixed by hundreds of companies and
thousands of individuals). NT may someday be as good as Unix systems, but
it's not there yet.
