Also, a Windows fuckup will mean reinstalling and probably having to wipe
the drive as well as other Not Fun things. Most UNIX software doesn't have
these issues; you simply bring the machine to single user, deal with and
go back to multi-users.

Worst of worst, you can pull from backup tapes or reinstall. But if you've
done this a few times, it's just an inconvience.
