I have customers, some of whom could lose tens of thousands of dollars if Windows crashes on them at the wrong time (is there ever a right time?) If the last backup was made 1 hour ago, then everybody in the shop has to do that hour's work all over again. Even if they don't lose any data, there's the non-productive time spent rebooting and trying to get back onto the network. I'm converting as many as possible to Linux. Regards, Irv
