Re: Another new feature(Self Healing)

> 1. Does this make Win 2K Pro competitive with OS/400 99%+ uptime?

  Nope.  I've been running W2K PRO on my IBM Thinkpad for several months
now. Overall it's MUCH more stable than W98 was.  W98 needed 'therapy'
about twice a day average.  W2K Seems to run about a week average before
it needs help.  Contrasting that to OS/2 Warp 4 which I also ran
formerly on this same machine I would say W2K is almost as stable as
OS/2.  (Win2K requires hugely more resource than any of the others
mentioned, but then so do RISC versions of OS/400)

  The implication seems clear to me. W95 and W98 simply are NOT stable
enough, nor is NT IMHO.
