Good
points and don't worry about the sarcasm, at least you are honest about
it. Sometimes I can't tell if people are being mean, or sarcastic.
<FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff

<FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>What it would seem like to me is that because Microsoft is
trying to improve their platform you are arguing that they are moving more
towards Unix. That's not right. They are trying to improve their
system. Just because the Unix OS already had some of the functions that
made it more stable doesn't mean that MS is copying Unix. For the love of
goodness, if I think that way everyone is copying everyone else in some form or
another! When air bags came out and car manufacturers starting putting
them in their vehicles standard, did anyone walk around pointing fingers and
saying "Hey, that was our idea come up with your own precautionary measures to
avoid disaster!!!"

PCs Stay Up and Running
Memory conflicts and missing or altered system files caused many of the
system crashes prior to Windows 2000. To put an end to these problems, we
changed Windows 2000 memory management to reduce the chance that software
applications will interfere with one another.
Applications runing in a seprate memory area...HMMMMMM Unix did that 15
years ago.
Fewer Reboots
Performing routine maintenance on your system requires significantly fewer
reboots, therefore less downtime, with Windows 2000. In addition, with its
support for Plug and Play, Windows 2000 automatically recognizes and adapts to
hardware changes. This means users can easily add hardware devices such as
scanners, DVD players, and speakers without rebooting, and with less potential
for user error.
Reboots are also reduced-and reliability increased-through the Microsoft
hardware device driver certification program. This program helps ensure that
hardware drivers are compatible with Windows 2000, and do not require a reboot
after installation. Certified drivers are tested and digitally signed by
Microsoft. If Windows 2000 detects a driver that Microsoft has not digitally
signed, it warns users about the risk before they install it on their
system<A

Not having to reboot after installing an application....Unix from it's
beginings.
How Much More Reliable Is Windows 2000 Professional?
Third-party studies that assess reliability from three different
perspectives-lab-based testing, customer-site measurement, and user
perceptions-conclude that Windows 2000 Professional is the most
reliable desktop operating system.
Highest Reliability in Production Environments
<A
href="http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/guide/professional/reviews/nstl.asp">NSTL
collected uptime data in the real-world environment of several customer
sites and concluded that the average system uptime between failures of
Windows 2000 Professional is 13 times more than that of Windows 98 and three times more than that of Windows NT Workstation 4.0.
I
would disagree with that, how is Windows becoming like
Unix?

The same prediction was made at least 5 years ago. At the rate
Microsoft is going, Windows will be a direct form of Unix. It becomes more
like it with every release.

Yea, but......
Win2K Datacenter will just decimate Unix. I predict
that, in 5 years, there will be two or three
Unix vendors, fighting over the 45% of the
market that DataCenter hasn't eaten.

Close. It's Dave Cutler. There's too much old
DOS/Windows backward compatibility for
WinNT/2000 to achieve stability like VMS despite Cutler's
leadership.
I knew VMS and you, Mr. NT, are no VMS!

NT is based on VMS (talk about a real OS) and if
my memory is good the guy's name is
Cutter.
