This tidbit is from:

Rob Worman

A few representative tidbits from this detailed description of a company 
that rolled out WindowsNT, and may not live to regret it:

"The impact of the migration completed to date on the call centers IS 
budget and management has been profound: a one-third decrease in 
performance accompanied by a fifty-percent increase in management costs.

This does not include production time lost because of workstation 
freezes, transmission drops, or the constant re-booting needed to keep 
the server operational.

From a very stable environment, the IS staff now report chaotic 
conditions which have only abated modestly over the months since the 
migration started."
