As you don't have any problems with viritual memory, strange init conflicts,
or have to fiddle with idiotic pre allocation of memory it's in real life
a much less hassle and easier to use than MacOS.

Stability of NT? I have under one and a half year *never* had even a single
crash or lockup of it. In that time I did have one total crash of a Solaris 
machine. I would say that NT is as stable as VMS is.

Anyway VMS, NT, Unix, OS/2, Win95 has much better stability than any version
of your MacOS. NO doubt about that.

Best regards,
