Nothing wrong with using Windows at all. That wasn't the problem.
As for the actual problem here of any down time (and the nonsense competence claims).
PRC never really got out of "Beta", as soon as we were beta testing the poker people wanted the site to stay up and have me just add things to it.
So what was the problem this time?
"We never really got out of beta"? Maybe you should warn investors that you are still in a testing phase before inviting them to invest...
"We never really got out of beta" for poker and casino. The dice was added on to that system but there has been massive improvements to it.
There is nothing wrong with the dice game at all. Just slower than it could be when there are a lot of users or bets/second and there can be some downtime once in a while like any site.
You didn't answer the question. If there's nothing wrong with the game, and there's nothing wrong with the hosting, why was it down for hours?
