    Yah right? MicroSoft Hell! We live there everyday.

    Unhappy-Not really, Microsoft is rewriting everything from scratch for longhorn
    LB, I'm curious - how does re-inventing the wheel make it any better? Just food for thought.
    Even a broken watch is correct twice a day.

    Which coder said that nobody could outcode Microsoft in their own OS? Write a bit and make a fortune!

    Go ask the people at BIND about that. Sometimes throwing out the old is better than trying to fix what's so badly broken.

    One problem with running Microsoft for any type of Server is that the remote area completely gets blown away with what you can do over SSH and UNIX.

    You can admin the system from anywhere, and although tools exist for Windows, they can't even hold up a lighter at a Linux concert with what you can do in Linux.

    It's quite possible that the Msh may be something to look into. Not that I'll have any plans for using Longhorn. WinFS was the only thing that made me want to use it.

    No one can top that. And the guy who made it has been really awesome to me.

    I would like to give it a lookover. Where could one download this.
    Since the beginning of time, Man has searched for the answers to the big questions: \'How did we get here?\' \'Is there life after death?\' \'Are we alone?\' But today, in this very theatre, you will be asked to answer the biggest question of them all...WHO LIVES IN A PINEAPPLE UNDER THE SEA?
