Threads, SMP, NFS, and purify. I can't think of > anything NT does better than any unix though. :) I'll argue the threads with you until I'm blue in the face, if you want. 8-). Kernel threads are about the most bone-headed idea ever invented (the most bone-headed, as any idiot knows, is getting involved in a land war in Asia). Yeah, SGI is getting good at SMP. Buying Cray will do that for a company. The NFS stuff is demoralizing. Someone should contact the Unioversity of Guelph. For "purify", if you meant on Linux, I can't believe that you are serious, given some of the pig tricks for things like NULL pointer arguments to string functions...
