Fair enough.

You wont find me defending NT very often. Like I said, uptime depends on
many things. System load is a major factor. In fact...probably the most
important factor. 

However, the NT/Exchange servers I mentioned towards the end of my rant
have a considerable (over 10000 heavy users) load on them and they get
along just fine. Just checked with one of the admins...he says that as of
today, 4 out of 7 have been up since last May. One of those is running
IIS4 for Outlook Web Access and recieving around 13,000 page hits per day.

Flame on...
