3.0 out of 5 stars Fairly solid, September 4, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0 with NT Option Pack Server Pack (5-Client) (CD-ROM)

We have used this product for over 3 years and have been mostly satisfied with its performance. We are a shop that runs both a variety of UNIX platforms as well as NT 4.0. NT, while providing a nice graphical environment, still lacks much in the way of reliability and flexibility. Even for the seasoned UNIX user, NT's permissions can be some what cryptic. Record locking can be a real nightmare, often requiring the reboot of the server to release a record that has been locked. Still overall, it is a fairly solid performer.

I got a copy from what was the used section. It was like new.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stable and Reliable Operating System, May 28, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0 with NT Option Pack Server Pack (25-Client) (CD-ROM)

Windows NT Server is a highly scalable, reliable and available operating system that meets the requirements of the overwhelming majority of the enterprise and medium size business-computing needs for data management, messaging, transaction processing, Internet services, and file and print infrastructure. Supported by a significant majority of the world's systems providers, Windows NT Server also offers customers (if you're the firm installing the system) with an integrated, multipurpose and cost-effective operating system.

One can argue that Windows 2000 Server would be more cost effective but only if you're starting a system out from scratch. It has been the experience of many pre-existing NT based firms that the real cost effectiveness lies in productivity. Productivity that is based on a stable operating system and clients.
