I'd like to see some technical articles detailing the advantages and 
disadvantages of Win2k and UNIX in relation to one another. While Win2k 
seems to be mostly NT code, I have read about some substantial improvements 
in overall OS functionality and enterprise readiness. For example, can we 
now say that Win2k Datacenter has helped Microsoft close the SMP gap 
between NT and UNIX? Naturally, I can only give so much weight to the 
Microsoft web site concerning this information.

Regards, Dustin
