Not necessarily. I've loaded apache and tomcat into protected memory space and still had them f*ck up the server. Although, Netscape Enterprise server was a lot worse at crashing (all the time!) we had to use it for Groupwise integration. A lot of times it locked up so bad I had to escape into the console debugger to exit Netware (still dropped me to an oh-so-familiar DOS prompt though!) and restart the server. Not nice, as it never cleanly unmounted the FS that way. OTOH, my IIS 4 server, which ran side by side with the NetWare server on a measley P-150 while the NetWare server was a PII-550, still outperformed it and never once BSOD'd or crashed. Only time I had to reboot it was when I had to apply hotfixes. Meanwhile, it seemed like I was rebooting the NW server every other day. The moral of the story: Netware as a web server sucks!

Netware is really nice (GroupWise, ZenWorks, BorderManager), but their client software can be a bitch (to both install and maintain). NDS is a blessing for network management. I hear that they are moving to a more 'universal' logon system in NW 6.x, which is totally IP based.
Netware was never a DOS program, although it has used DOS as a poor man's boot loader.
I always, however, found it interesting how you could still type down at a 5.1 server console prompt and exit to DOS!

Mad, mad props to these guys for 10 years of work on a protocol that you know Microsoft has worked long and hard to obfuscate through a lack of literature and, to some extent, probably in the arrangement of information in each payload.
Well, it is Microsoft's protocol... no one really has the God-given right to reverse engineer it! You're acting like you're pissed off about it, but remember, if it wasn't for MS, Samba wouldn't exist.
I dont know what you were doing to get data loss with ext2 (or ext3 which is as you said quite the same), but this kind of shit never happened on my server box even after several days of continous heavy load.
I believe he was talking about the FS not being unmounted cleanly (i.e., hitting the power switch while it was mounted.)

"It comes down essentially to the file systems. On linux, or most any other multi-user operating system..."
Once again, people are using the phrase "all MS OSes" when talking solely about the 9x line. This is simply not true. On a properly set up NT system, you need proper file system permissions if you're not logged in as an Administrative-level user. OTOH, I could login as root into a Linux box and type chmod -fR 777/. See, it all really comes down to the knowledge of the user. Smart Linux users know not to run normally as root. Smart NT users know not to run normally as Administrator. The one difference, however, is that there might be some legacy software in Windows that require Administrative privliges. But you can just use the "Run as..." feature of the shortcut, just like you can su in Linux when you have to. Windows will automatically sense this sometimes (e.g. if you're installing a program) and bring up a box that says "You know, this probably won't work unless you Run As..."

Why not make it so that you can't be moderated below -1; however, the 'people modifier' can affect that anyway... i.e., if you have a people modifier of -6 for foes, and a foe posts at -1 moderation, it will actually be at a -7 threshold (invisible to the user, like the post isn't even there, because you can browse at a minimum of -1). The only way you'd actually see the post is if he got modded up 6 times (up to +5... the comment would _have_ to be interesting to be worth reading). There's nothing wrong with reading at -1... it just allows you to see some insightful or funny stuff that was missed or moderated incorrectly. For example: Moderation Totals: Troll=1, Redundant=2, Insightful=2, Interesting=1, Informative=1, Overrated=3, Underrated=1, Total=11. That was from one of my posts. Now tell me that wasn't the most confusing mixed-up pile of moderation you've ever seen. Viewing at a higher threshold may or may not be a good thing... moderators will be biased and take viewpoints, whether you like it or not.
I disagree. I don't want to start a flame war about AV programs, but McAfee has its good points. It's not as 'bloated' as you think. However, Norton sold out. I used to be a die-hard Norton user. Then they started to add all that 'glitz' you mention. Not necessarily so bad, but it did get more bloated; I liked v. 4.0 myself. However, then they basically crucified themselves when they demanded a yearly subscription fee to use their updates. Does that scream 'sell-out'? Well, I screamed 'fuck you' and went to McAfee. Underneath the window they call a 'menu' (yes, that's what it's called, I'm not sure what you define as 'bloat') is still trusty old VShield, in its original form. The update tool just downloads the SuperDAT exe, and bam, you can upgrade. I've set it up on a network before, and it's a breeze to update through a batch file in the login scripts. Oh well, to each his own.

"...I can take advantage of the reliability of the Linux kernel..."
That's ludicrous. You're saying that native Windows apps will run more reliably under an emulator than under its own native OS? Are you crazy? At least that's what it sounds like you're saying. If you're so worried about the "reliability of the Linux kernel" why don't you use Linux instead and run Linux native apps? If you're thinking about "reliability" in terms of Windows apps, well you may want to try this instead.
I never found this written anywhere.
Perhaps WXP is garanteed to work with WXP compatible applications, but try to mix Win 3.00 executable with WNT or other (your claim), or very old drivers for old material with new OS.
Perhaps you are wrong. WinXP has Application Compatibility. Right click any EXE and select Compatibility. It will emulate any other Microsoft OS you select from the list automagically. If it still refuses to run, there is a utility on the XP CD that will further tweak it (about 200 settings in all).
