Author Maury Wright tells us how it is:
“Windows NT is light-years ahead…
“The Windows Control Panel provides a centralized and intuitive
facility that you use to make system-level hardware and software
changes. To accomplish the same thing on a Unix system, you usually
need to locate settings buried in a configuration file and manually
edit the file using a text editor.”
“… let’s address the only real reason an end user might choose
Unix: Presumably, Unix is more reliable than NT, and I can’t
challenge that claim. I’ve never had an NT system crash, so I
suspect that the hype is louder than the reality. I know Windows NT
gets more reliable with each release and service pack.”
“I know all you Unix zealots use Windows 9X or NT for
office-productivity tools anyway. Swap to NT, and you can have
everything on one system. One final note: Everything I say about
Unix also applies to Linux.”
And don’t neglect to take in author Maury Wright’s photo at the
bottom of the article. It is right next to his e-mail address.
