    Well what can I say other than MS paid good money for me to test NT. When I built my current Supermicro box (8 Xeon cores w/16GB mem and a 4 TB array) a few years ago I had every intention of running multiple virtual machines including NT, BSD and CentOS. Alas the plan fell apart because I forgot most of what I knew about BSD and I couldn't get an I2C driver working on BSD, a critical requirement. I found NT applications to substitute for the BSD and CentOS applications I planned on running and kept the box on Win2k3 until Win7 x64 was available.

    I know, I know I succumbed to the dark side but it is too late to go back.
