There are rumors that NT 5 makes some advances in this direction, but I have not really been following that. When you install NT, a HTTP server, IIS comes along for the ride. And while IIS is not my personal favorite, it does save you the trouble of acquiring and installing a HTTP server as a separate task. The downside to that approach is that you tend to sacrifice quality for convenience. Since NT has evolved from a desktop system into a server platform, it tends to be a little less robust than one might expect from a server platform.
Uptime tends to be measured in days, or, at best, weeks, rather than months.
And due to the way that multiprocessing is handled, a crash in one application tends to take down the whole system. Also, installation of a new package tends to require that the entire machine be rebooted to have the changes take effect. The entire Windows way of thinking is graphical. The general understanding is that you would never need one, since everything can be accomplished with your mouse. Several popular Unix shells have been ported to the NT platform, and languages such as Perl and awk are available for Windows.
