As a waste of bandwidth not relating to real issue at hand, our NT
boxes are just the opposite and go down more than our Unix boxes. Of
course I can probably relate this to the various programmers that
wrote the web software on these boxes, but they are our customers and
do pay us. :)
Anyway, I have noticed that the NT machines running Web Site cannot
handle near the hits that our Unix based Apache Web Site can. Just
for the record! :)
I do use NT at home and think it is an exceptional OS for what I need
it for at home. And it makes a good server, but I don't think its
web stuff is ready for prime time. (This is my personal opinion and I am sure
someone can recite stats that would be an attempt to change my mind).
