In the sense of "least worst", I suppose.
W2K was quite reliable. Which is a good thing 'cos the US navy runs
warships on it. I still worry about whether it was reliable enough.

I unforget seeing a missile targetting system, built with Ferranti's
silicon on Sapphire chips, which ran a small multi-tasking kernel based on
BSD *nix. The uptime when the ship came in for refit was 1200 days. The
vessel had taken commission 1190 days before.
