This is the second problem. Windows simply has problems that cause data relibility problems that may or may not be surmountable in the future.
Do you have any references to these problems? I've seen several people mention things like this in passing, but I have yet to see any specifics.
I deal with clients who use all variations of windows OSs. I've previously worked for a large company who used both Unix and Windows servers. In every case, the Windows boxes were/are more susceptible to simply locking up or crashing. When your only resolution is to power cycle the server, you're going to trash your database. I've seen it on xp, nt, 200?...
I don't do development on Windows boxes anymore. It's just too frustrating with the stability issues.
