Normally, this opinion is because you don't have any experience using UNIX.

If you we're a unix specialist, what would you prefer? NT or UNIX?

The performance gain using UNIX vs NT is not that high when using a small
amount of clients.

However, using a large amount of clients, over 100, gains a lot of
performance.

At the customer I earlier described, we had to use an NT server temporary,
because there was a slight delay in the delivery of the UNIX machine.

The NT machine could backup machines in the morning, while users were
working.

If I were to backup a 100 clients in morning using the UNIX machine,
everything else would stop, because the UNIX machine has a lot higher
throughput.

The customer had a T/R bridge, and when we started backing up with the UNIX
machine, we got the comment from the network guy that the bridge had never
been so highly utilized.

system you choose to use is normally based on what knowledge you have.

If I had a choice between unix and nt I would choose nt every time. It's
much easier to use and the much ballyhooed performance gained by using unix
is not that great.
