I like NT a lot, but I have a hard time justifying it for my mission critical servers for several reasons: 1) Unix offers higher performance hardware and peripherals than the average PC server. 2) In my experience risc servers are more reliable 3) from an admin point of view they are easier for me to manage remotely. For the most part, I have found PC's to be generally not of the best quality compared to other computers. WT
