It's nowhere near as robust, and the performance is poorer.
Most of the support calls we get from our clients are realted to NT
boxes.
I confess to my pro-UNIX bias, however.

You know, you can run more than TSM on an AIX box.  is there another AIX
box with spare CPU cycles?  I normally see one box per application, in
the NT world, but one box running several apps, in the UNIX world.
maybe that's a better way to consolidate.
