This is again a myth propagated by microsoft, remember the terms they used
for NT4.0, rock-solid, never crashes, way different from windize 9x, well
they are using the same marketing tricks for win2k as well. win2k has a
*huge* amount of bugs, is unstable, cannot handle *huge* amounts of mail,
thats why hotmail.com still use Solaris with qmail, etc.etc...Dos was/is
much more stable tham *any* windoze product that I have come acroos
upon...
