[NTLUG:Discuss] Strainge Request, Maybe?

[Daniel Hauck]

Try Unix vs. NT, the web site... http://www.unix-vs-nt.org/

then there's:

http://www.zdnet.com/pccomp/features/fea0797/nt/welcome.html

And the bottom-line is "ease of use" has little to no bearing where servers
are concerned.  If anything, Windows is FAR more difficult since, for the
most part, you have to be at the computer to administer it.

So even if all other things were equal, (such as up-time and MTBF) Windows
is still essentially geared for the user.
