Hihi! :) This is in reference to WindowsNT Workstation, since I have never really used the Server version... Concerning stability of WindowsNT, in my experience, NT has been very stable. The only time where it has been unstable was when my video card was failing causing weird things to happen to the video drivers. Since video is in kernal mode for NT, the instability didn't really surprise me then. ;P But, besides that one incident, NT has been very stable. I'm usually known to stress computers by having a lot of apps running at the same time (gotta love those virtual desktops! ^.^ eDesk is my fav!) - just ask my roommate. :) To give you an idea, I have ran Outlook, Word, MSMoney, IE, Kinetix 3D Studio Max R2.5, and PhotoShop 4.0.1 all at the same time without a hitch. All this, in addition to the stuff in the background, but they're mostly idle. My only gripe is that I need more processing power and RAM. :( Apparently a Pentium II 300MHz w/192MB RAM doesn't cut it for me anymore. ;P Anyways, just wanted to say that you don't need to knock NT too much. ^.^ Take care!
