A Case for Linux in the Corporation

Has details of the company's initial move to NT, and their eventual move to Linux as the cost of licensing gets out of control."

    When I used to write some web apps that ran on IIS (about 1 year ago - thank god those days are over) we worked with a fairly big NT shop.

    Their policy was to reboot the NT web servers one per month on schedule, becuase if you went any longer IIS would go into a death spiral and take NT down with it.

    This place was staffed with lots of MCSEs, etc. and this was their answer to problems with NT/IIS. No joke.
