All through this class it's been; "This is what NT does wrong, 2000 does it better." Which then turns out to be a pseudo-Unix way of doing it... :) The instructor is constantly rolling his eyes and complaining about the legendary NT stability and is fond of telling stories where NT didn't work, but by GOD 2000 did... :) Then I point out that I know of companies who've been doing the same thing on Unix, with less hardware for a long time. He also points out that you should have at least 256 megs of RAM and 2, preferabbly 4 gigs of harddrive space for a straight install! I started laughing at that point.....
