Overall stability, speed, hardware support, administration, scalability, etc. I am concerned about all this because i *just* got into Unix, and i hoped pursuing a job in the field isn't a waste of time. Now M$ appears with a 'Unix-slayer' OS, at least in their minds, and they put enough time into development and testing to raise a few eyebrows. And unlike previous releases, this one is really getting good reviews. I just heard from someone recently about several banks that switched to NT from Unix. I thought banks would stick to the most robust systems. Apparently i was wrong. -=> jm <=- Please CC me on all replies ------------------------------------------------------- The opinions expressed in this message are the opinions of the mail program only, and not of the writer, his employer, or freebsd-uk.eu.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
