Otherwise, bad comment. I apologize. 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. >You cannot simply "push" someone out of business. >Once again, pushing Dr-Dos out of the market was probably not a bad thing. 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?! >The warez criminal will have no problems. Because they simply won't be able to >use it. Trust me on that one. :) 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).
