But when your "corporate" exchange server goes down people at
that specific location just think "Oh, the exchange server crashed
again".  When a root name server has problems, people think someone
unplugged the Internet.  I don't think there are any Microsoft products
that serve mission critical Internet roles.

So I say, if its good enough for the root servers, its
good enough for me.  Thanks.
