My friend (MCSE) is on site right now.. NT is crashing left and right, with no indications why. He's swapping memory right now... Here's the scoop (as i see it): Unix excels at networking and efficiency. It tends to be a little weak in ease-of-use. Windows excels on the desktop because it shields users from complexity. But it wasn't designed from the ground up for networking, and that is its handicap. Shielding users is one thing, but sheilding admins from important info is a poor idea. All the layers in NT _seem_ to make it difficult to get an accurate picture of what is going wrong further down.
