It's the same bleeding operating system. Does Microsoft think we're *stupid*
or something? Or are they saying that *NT* wasn't designed as a server? I'll
believe that... normally servers don't require rebooting if you add an entry
to their DNS list. Or make any *other* change to their configuration.

I agree: if you want a reliable webserver you'd be better off with something
designed as a server. Like, maybe, FreeBSD and Apache.
