Indeed NT systems are far more susceptable to corruption than other
similar OSs because of the agressive write buffering.

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.

Sigh! Those problems were solved (one product was JMF's) in a variety
of ways in an OS that smells like NT. Consistency wasn't the major
problem with the airline reservation system.

At least, that's the theory...

Yea. And then somebody tries to program the thing. Then you
find out what the real theory is ;-).
