You've lost me here in your grammar, but most Linux people I know can set up
Windows networking no problem. Indeed that is what most Linux servers that
aren't serving web pages are doing.

One can hardly go around supporting M$ whilst talking about propaganda, one side
of M$ called open source a cancer, and the other side admitted they used open
source software in the IP stack..... The problem with M$ propaganda keeps
hitting reality - what was it the CTO said about their website design after the
DNS fiasco that stopped 60,000,000 people reading their e-mail.

Can you reconcile the two above, did M$ push DR-DOS out of the market and get a
big fine, or can't they do that sort of thing?!

Actually unless Microsoft have vamped up the security since the beta, the Warez
guys have worked a way around it. Trust me on that one  :)

Personally I think a lot of Microsoft bashing is uncalled for, many of their
products are very good, but there business practises suck, and their OS
architectures are terrible (Mostly through being backwardly compatible to
previous versions - not any reflection on the programmers).
