I doubt it will happen, but I hpe they go back to using a real OS like
UNIX for this stuff, else progress will become an oxymoron.

Oh, like UNIX never crashes...

I guess it can. However, I can say that for the 10 years I've sat in
front of a Solaris workstation I have never once had it lock up do to
an OS issue. I have had it die and say a disk was bad or a memory SIMM
was bad, but it has never locked up or even hung for no reason. The
$4K Win XP Pro lap to they issued me is another story... Having
said that, I've long since given up being a UNIX bigot and spend most
of my time working in front of the Windows box. If Sun could ever
figure out a way to make an Ok Java engine for Solaris I might switch
back.
