  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 winner.

  I believe I've seen a shareware version of that out on the web 
  somewhere for various flavors of Unix with 
  X-windows.

    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 <FONT 
  size=2>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 <FONT 
  size=2>like it with every release.
