Interesting article.

One paragraph chills my heart:

Still, he says that his company is thinking seriously about converting its
mail server back from Linux to Windows NT. Group Logic has documented several
cases where the sendmail program running on the Linux server lost an e-mail
message. While it's had few other problems with Linux, he says the software is

OF all things. I can personally says if the mail server is Exchange that is a
very bad move.
