The ONE single thing that makes NT unuseable in critical applications is
that you need to reboot it to make any system changes.

Need to re-number a nic?  Reboot.

Need to upgrade some software?  Reboot.

The definition of mission critical would include "Maximum uptime".
Needing to reboot to change a minor configuration item or add software is
unbelievable.

It's 1999 MS, can you please make an OS that you don't need to turn off in
order to make a change.

I run LINUX..... problem solved!
