Granted I have to restart it more then any of my UNIX machines, It is still not that bad. I use NT to host my web-based email, beacuse I use exchange as the server. I use FreeBSD as the host for my main pages. Most companys use NT simple because it is expected of them, or just simpler to setup. Even better for the big companies, It seems better to go with a product that has a responsible company behind it. This is not to say that Micro$oft is a responsible company, just responsible for their product. For the systems I have setup here and there, I use what ever the customer wants. Hope this helps.

Holloway Sent: Wednesday, May 26, 1999 4:54 PM To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Windows NT I'm not trying to start a flame war..I am just curious. If NT is as horrible of an OS as everyone claims then why do web sites like Barnes and Noble, Ebay, CDW, and BuyComp (among others) use it? I'm not trying to praise NT - just wanting some information explaining why people should choose one OS over another.
