    This wasn't a real ad, now was it? and do I want to know the answer to this?

    I was there when it hit the net. Supposedly, it was real, but only ran in Germany.

    I retrieved the copy from http://xahlee.info/UnixResource_dir/microsoft_linux_ad.html, but I can attest that it at least existed around 2000.

    Lovely :) But ok. It was win-server vs linux. At this time must've been WIN-NT or 2003. Both actually way better than their consumer OS.

    NT4 was solid operationally. Stability was close enough. NT4's Deskop manager was more professional but rather inflexible.

    Apache in Linux was superior to NT4+IIS in every way.

    NT4 could run Exchange which was generally better than unix mail.

    Most of the reason we ran Windows servers was because we knew Windows. The whole compile your stuff and stay on top of deps was beyond normal for the time.
