    What about Mechwarrior or Quake II, can I run that on Unix 
    and will it run smoothly?  This is a fun 
    debate, but I do agree there will never be a <FONT 
    size=2>winner.

    I believe I've seen a shareware version of that out on the

    X-windows.

      PCs Stay Up and Running <FONT 


    size=2>  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 <FONT 
    size=2>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 <FONT 
    size=2>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 


      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 <FONT 
    size=2>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 
      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. 


      Notice no comparison to Unix. It's like people that 
    hangout with socially unacceptable people to make 
    themselves look better (Hey! Wait a minute! Is that 
    why alot of people want to hang out with me? ). I guess you're right 
    they aren't the same. Unix posts much higher 
    numbers. 


      Sorry, it's sarcastic Thursdsay here. I love the 
    debate about Windows and Unix. ;o)

          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.
