Indeed NT systems are far more susceptable to corruption than other

That's really, really, really too bad. It used to know how.

That objection misses the point. You may lose a lot of data because of
the buffering, but the commit/rollback transaction processing supposedly
means that what you lose is a complete transaction and what you have
left will always be consistent.

At least, that's the theory...
