Granted.....just out of curiousity: Can you cite reliability statistics for the 10 year Unix?

There is, however, one significant difference: stability. If Microsoft starts making stable
products, we might just as well start using them, but knowing Microsoft, I'm not overly
worried.

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.

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.
