[development] What's a critical issue

[Sean Robertson]

Any idea what's behind that?  I truly can't imagine ever hosting any of 
my sites on Windows - in my experience it's been an unstable bloated 
piece of crap.  I used to work for an ISP that had about half Windows 
servers and half Unix and we had unix servers that had uptimes of over a 
year, but the Windows servers were lucky if they managed to stay up for 
more than a month.
