Stability is a pretty subjective issue. I have never had Linux crash to the point where I had to reboot the server. Ever. In fact, the only time a reboot is required is when you upgrade the kernel. That's what I call stability; I'd be interested in hearing your definition. (That's not sarcasm.. I am really interested by what measure you find Win2k more stable than Linux.)

Bullshit. Microsoft outlook handles pop3 and all other emails according to set standards
I never said pop3, now did I? I admit, "handling of email" is pretty vague. So how about their <B>NTLM authentication scheme</B> for starters? Could you please show me an RFC where that is documented?

And what about that horrible Rich Text Format that Outlook uses? Granted, it's a published standard, but it's still something Microsoft created, with minimal support elsewhere. Care to revise your earlier statement, "Microsoft doesn't invent standards, they just adhere to them and promote other developers to do it too."?
