In my experience a controlled shutdown isn't the same as a crash. An OS crash is generally when the system ABENDS not when it shuts down in an orderly fashion. Besides what server would survive such an event in the first place? After all the question was how do I make Windows 2k8 R2 DC crash not how to stop a server.
Why do you have to upgrade server hardware every year and a half? What about the expense of having enough bandwidth to handle that every growing media library he is talking about? That may take a lot of expensive upstream bandwidth which isn't exactly cheap.
How else do you install updates that require reboots with out scheduling them? Reboot them randomly during the middle of the day?
Solaris, Linux, BSD and lots of other operating systems sometimes require reboots to finish patch installation which is why you plan for such contingencies.
It slows down because of users installing all sorts of junk which your typical sysadmin will not do. Is it really fair to compare a professionally managed system with one used by a hormone fueled teenager?
It is even easier to find people speaking authoritatively on/. about what Windows can and can not do despite having no clue at all about it. It is like their experience with Windows stopped at NT 4.0 and they assume it hasn't changed at all since then.
Sad.

Causes all servers to crash, including Linux. I need examples that only take down Windows.

The management processor will detect the issue and shut down the system before damage occurs.
I am sitting very close to a server running Windows Server 2008 R2 Datacenter, how do I make it be unreliable / make it crash?
That depends. Are we still using the "If you don't hate Microsoft with every bone in your body" you are an astroturfer as our method to identity them?
You don't take the enhancements that Research has contributed to .Net, Visual Studio, Exchange, SQL Server, NT 6.0 / 6.1 seriously?
I know it might be hard but you could look at research.microsoft.com and see all the nextgen OS research they are doing.
How am I oppressing you by holding title to software I write?
You aren't a customer if you steal the product.

How much is too much to pay per song?
Trading tapes with a few friends is a little different than trading tapes with a thousands of people.
Why is it impossible to have an actual discussion on /. anymore?

Then why haven't any of my Windows 7 / Vista installed slowed down?

Can you link to this recommendation?
Explain.
What benefits does Windows take away when used as the host?
Microsoft is the topic.
I like Windows and Visual Studio as well does that make me a shill too?
I wasn't aware that by keeping some of the programs I write closed source or that by using proprietary standards that I was worthy of prison.

I am nearly positive that you are unable to tell me the difference between the two security models.
Who says you can't buy a new computer without 7 on it? It really isn't that hard to do.
