Well sparky, you obviously don't know what the hell your doing or your application sucks. Your going to blame NT for a crappy application now? Your also going to blame NT for the box costing $10k - HEY GUESS WHAT the same box with Linux is 9500 bucks! And hey, the $30000 application - I think MS has a rule that all NT apps cost 30,000... If you worked for me and I told you to deploy an application and you couldn't figure it out.. I would find someone who could.... 90 mins up time huh - thats pretty bad - sounds like maybe something is wrong because I am not aware of a 90 minute timer in NT for crashes. Get a clue, "sport"
Wow... I can't imagine how screwed up they must have set up to get those results..... I am sure linux is stable but I am also sure NT is stable......(not even talking about w2k which is rocking in the lab)... 68 times? You know - there is just no way this is done right.. I bet both of these OSes if set up properly are very stable.. the problem is that every "lab test" comes out with one of them being horrible and one being awesome - the truth is that they are probably both stable when set up properly...
Troll? You know why no one takes linux serious? Because of people going around calling others names because they don't know that there is a wordperfect version for linux...... who the hell cares... The truth is the productivity suites are better on Windows..... WordPerfect ported to linux to attempt to have some sort of market after being trounced by MS.. desperation.
I say vote no.. because no one is buying w2k with 63000 known bugs... the article is typical of the kind of bullshit the press gets away with now... an internal email written 2 years ago for all we know talking about how important it is for the customer to fix problems and it is somehow twisted into: "Microsoft is releasing w2k with 63000 bugs!" - bullshit. Microsoft doesn't want to release anything that is going to hurt their bottom-line.. they are a business.. do you honestly think that they are going to shoot themselves in the foot - it is going to be a hit.. guaranteed. The part about this that sucks is that one reporter twists some quotes from an email and the rest of the reporters in the world do this: HEADLINE: MICROSOFT TO RELEASE W2k with 63000 bugs Body: According to an article by so and so...blah blah blah... WTF! How about real reporting.. I can gossip all I want with my friends.. and I can trade stories and make up lies with them but I am not a reporter! Unfortunately Ziff-Davis is just trying to get attention.. so they can sell stuff so they don't care about accuracy.. just about getting peoples attention..... shame on them for publishing this article... but apparantly if it gets attention they will post it.. and then the rest of the press "legitimizes" it by reference... totally shitty.
No.. I am afraid thats not the real problem... the problem is that all the linux folks are busy bitching about MS and not busy trying to actually beat them... Same with Sun.. Scott McNealy talks more about MS that Sun.. As bad as everyone says MS stuff is it sounds like it would be real easy for linux to over-take right - why hasn't it happened? Because MS is actually improving the product at a dramatically faster rate than any other OS manufacturer out there... w2k is a dramatic improvement. Win2k is targetted at business customers.. do you think that all the business customers out there who are going to deploy w2k are just doing to piss away money? Do you honestly think that companies out there want to waste money - no.. they are trying to save money - but they still have to get the job done.. They have a couple of options.. Buy w2k/nt and let people work... Buy linux, write all the apps again, train everyone in the company... hire a bunch of developers so that they can tweak stuff and maintain it...etc...
First off... look at the article.. read only the part in quotes which is all they had to go on (the article is off an email right)... it looks to me like no one is going to buy w2k with 63000 known defects - because no one is selling it - 63,000 entries in some database in Washington doesn't = 63000 bugs.. and from the looks of it the email shows how aggressively they were attempting to address the probs...
Did anyone else notice how crappy the article is? Read the part in the quotes... Looks like this was an old email prior to release from the quotes and HEY it looks like they were trying to fix the probs for - who was it - oh yeah.. the customers... how is it that a company that is trying this hard to identify and FIX bugs is a bad thing?

There isn't a better solution for free.. thats your answer....
