Ask PLUG: best OS for wireless applications

[Mark Firestone]

This is probably true, but I have seen no evidence of it, because my NT4
servers don't 
crash all that much.  What I have seen with Windows 2000 Pro, is that when
it dies, it 
DIES.  Big time.  

I have had several machines with PRO simply stop working.  They will not
boot.  You cannot
repair them with an emergency repair disk, or any other way I have been able
to discover.

NT4 Workstation didn't ever do this.

Actually, Win2000 is WAY more stable than any of the other WinOSes thus
far.  I had to put it on my computer here at work to do some driver
development.  Except for the fact that it is still a bloated, "one size
must fit all" pig, it is far better than it's M$ predecessors.

Now, about embedding it?  I would not want that project!
