Concerns with Window Stability

[x-raysteve]

Last time I was really reliant on Window Servers for mission critical applications was probably over 10 years ago. Since then I have focused on linux and other unix derivatives including Solaris.

I am looking into a windows environment for a project I am working on, but I still have those old feelings of reliability and management. I always had many more issues with my windows servers failing than I did with any of my BDSI, Solaris or Linux boxes.

How much have things changed, and what can I expect if I migrate back over into the window server world?

I hear issues that even things like IP deny lists are not easily implemented under Windows.

Windows 2003 Server is an excellent server platform and I haven't had any problems with it. WIndows 2003 Server is as stable as any Limux/UNIX distribution as long as the server administrator managing it, knows what he is doing...

Thank you for the confidence boost. Sometimes it can be difficult shaking old conceptions and mis-conceptions. Looking back on the last 10 years in computing, it is kind of foolish of me holding any kind of pre-conceived notions from so long ago.

10 years is a long time indeed . Lots of things have changed.
