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.
