If you're a sysadmin or other person charged with medium to high reliability computer systems (all of them should be), read http://www.microsoft.com/backstage/column_T2_1.htm and then tell me again why people are buying operating systems software from people who think that 95% availability is even an option? Hello? If my Linux boxes were down 1 day in 20 I'd be bloody irate, but I've come to expect that from NT machines. Apparently so has Microsoft, enough that they think it's an accomplishment to work around it. "Hey, my leg's broken, I can't walk." "Here, have a wheelchair." "Cool solution. I'm satisfied now." Jeepers.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
