Re: Recommendations of webdevelopmentarchitecture/tool fordiverse i5 access...

Mark,

Yes, aware that Windoz was never designed to be a multi-user OS but M$ has and
still does market their OS as the only OS you or your business will ever need,
able to replace midrange, mainframe, etc., etc. and MANY have done more than
sip the cool-aid.

You're quite right about the failure or reduced performance rate of Windoz vs.
i5 OS.

Windows was never designed to be a multi user OS. It's been
kludged/band-aided/duct taped to "look" like one and the general masses have
bought into it. The mid-range line from the S/34 (and maybe earlier) was
built from the beginning to be a multi-user, multi-tasking system. In my
experience over 80% (and thats very conservative IMEO) of "problems" in a
mixed environment of Windows and i5 interoperability/interfacing is caused
by an error in Windows (whether its SQL Server, Network File server,
Exchange server, et al) . Yet, who do the majority of the users/management
blame or point the finger at you can bet it's not the Windows
techies/programmers.

BINGO!!!! And you have to suspect an OS that says its multi-tasking,
multi-threading but doesn't hold a candle to the multi-everything the i5 can
do, including true multi-user.

My point more revolves around the fact (yes I said fact) that
Windows is an inferior operating system to i5OS.

You have to be suspect of a server where the highest priority task is the
one monitoring and dispatching messages for mouse movement... it goes
downhill from there ;-)
