North Central Mo - Chillicothe | Dave, if they were all as stable as VAX/VMS, the world would be good. I worked on VMS for about 15 years before making the switch to networks, Windows NT etc. It's just not the same.
The guy who engineered VMS was hired by MS and then put together the original NT. It you know internals and data structures of VMS, it was an easy switch to NT (2000, XP , etc).
I run XP and 2000 in my office, reboot about once a month, and don't have problems. I'm in the IT business and firmly believe that the difference is good AV / Anti-spy ware software. I run Mcafee Total Protection for Small Business and have zero virus problems. I have it running it schools, small businesses, government and just don't have problems.
Good to see VMS's name in print again. Man, I miss the good old days ...
