Most Definitely!

However, you must pay for performance. If you are dealing with a relatively small database ( <20G and <50 concurrent users) you could use NT fairly well. However, once you need to scale beyond 4 processors, you will run out of room on your NT box. Unix servers will typically scale way past 14 processors.

If you have a Unix box and a NT box configured similarly, the Unix box will perform somewhat better. However, you would typically pay at least double for that performance.

Also, I like Unix for it's stability. NT is on it's way, but by no means has the stability of the Major Unix vendors.

My $.02 worth...
