TechNet Webcast: Windows Compare (Part 1 of 6): Reliability in Windows and Linux (Level 200)  

In this first session in the Windows comparison series, we look at the tools and technologies that make Windows a reliable platform to build on. Organizations define reliability as more than just uptime; also important are predictable and consistent delivery, and the ability to make business information available when needed and as business requirements evolve. In this webcast, we show you what makes the Windows platform easy to configure and use. The built-in tools and features, such as Active Directory and Group Policy, make the management of clients easy to achieve in a centralized manner. Windows Reliability and Performance Monitor provides a means to monitor applications and see how they run on your servers.
