I didn't say it doesn't suck. I said it works.  I've run stable 
(6months-1year uptime), useful (main file server, main devel 
webserver), and quick nt servers.  Granted they were *INTERNAL* hosts 
for a specific group of people that needed it for a government 
contract but they WORKED for what they needed to do.  As far as I 
know the box never rebooted while I worked at that company.
