The subject should read, The ONE thing NT does better than unix

And no, ease of use is not the ONLY thing that people want, or there
wouldn't be so many people moving to linux right now.

The Hindenburg is a lot easier to fly than a 747!  So you are saying you
would rather be a Hydrogen Fire-bomb pilot than to fly in 747, just because
it's easier.... NT goes down like the hindenburg usually, in a big ball of
flames! just like you must be getting in your mail right now. ;-)
