Richard,

I think the point that Gavin was trying to make is that a sensible business would commit their valuable data back to a fileserver running on solid hardware with a solid operating system rather than relying on their single-spindle laptops to store their valuable content - not making any statement on the actual desktop platform.

For example, I use a mixture of Windows, MacOS, Solaris and OpenBSD around here, but all the valuable data is stored on a zpool located on a SPARC server (obviously with ECC RAM) with UPS power. With Windows around, I like the fact that I don't need to think twice before reinstalling those machines.

Andre.
