+In 2000, when Hotmail switched from FreeBSD to Windows server,
+a white paper noted this problem, which persists 15 years later:
+
+    Windows operations still involves too many reboots. Sometimes they are
+    unnecessary, but operators reboot a system rather than take the time to
+    debug it. For example, a service may be hung, and rather than take the time
+    to find and fix the problem, it is often more convenient to reboot. By
+    contrast, UNIX administrators are conditioned to quickly identify the
+    failing service and simply restart it; they are helped in this by the
+    greater transparency of UNIX and the small number of interdependencies.
+    Some reboots are demanded by an application installation, and are not
+    strictly necessary.

 In the long run,
 this hurts both proprietary and open-source software
 on the Windows platform.
