OK I work at one of the largest companies in the world. First of all, how the hell do you come up with $50/hour per employee? And second. Wouldn't you say that Win95 machines locking up or not working an average of 1 hour a week is alot? Multiply that by the 1500 workstations I got, times 52 weeks. At "$50/hour", that's $78000 right there... Now we are up to $178000.... Oops did that go over your head? Sorry.. and nevermind the fact that any admin worth his dough knows that the reboots of the NT box are numerous.. let's not forget that... NEXT!
The only BSOD you have seen are hardware related??? I wish I were that lucky. I got 60+ NT boxes around, and a few of them have BS'ed and not one of em was hw related. Corrupt event viewer is my favorite. If NT finds a corrupt event viewer message, it BS's.. And you have to replace a dll(during reboot) then reboot again... What a piece...That's why real men run unix in general not so many damn reboots IF something goes wrong...
ok ok ok.... I am a sysadmin in an NT shop with around 65 NT servers, 3 HP-UX servers, and I can say this: I run Linux at home for EVERYTHING. I have my boss installing Linux at home now that I have DNS running here at work and it actually works unlike microsquish. We are going to be putting together a big 75 agency ISP type service. Was set to be 9 NT servers. I have it down to 1 NT server, 1 HP-UX server, and 3 Linux servers. So I can say that I am tryin my a$$ off to get it in here, and my boss is listening. We don't like NT all that much, but we have TONS of db's, and no other alternative. But with Oracle, we do now.
