Yes, this is true, but only with a RANTS (Reduntant Array of NT Servers). When one melts down, who cares! Just pray to your lucky stars that the next one won't.:)
Can you recall the last time you used an array of eight-way Compaq Proliants? Makes you think, doesn't it? Someone that's considering doing that much processing probably has enough dough to get themselves an AS/400. Funny how they didn't benchmark their NT boxen with that!
The bottom line is: If you're doing some serious calculations and serious business, you use UNIX. There's no two ways about it. From what I've seen, losing the GUI gives you more than just extra CPU cycles, it gives you the power to do whatever you need to do. And that's a good thing (tm).
Mod me up, mod me down, who cares, this is just my opinion. I'm a realist. - Kernel

AC, I personally think you're a troll. :)
If FreeBSD only supports x86, what's my AlphaStation running?
