I haven't had to reinstall a Windows 2000 server ever since it was released (not that there were many that I ever used. But I actually did and deployed apps on them). 95, 98 and ME maybe. NT4 almost never and W2K is a quite stable platform even under load. I'm amazed that the most violent Windows critique comes from people that claim to "never have touched a M$ operating system in their whole life". But then again, same goes to the Linux critics... :-) Regards Henning -- Dipl.-Inf. (Univ.) Henning P.
