Interesting - out with the linux and in with windows NTserver.  You have to
give it to the MS people  - jargon central - "real life proof points"  they
do seem to be developing a propensity for new language and it does NOT make
understanding the technology easier.  Real Life Proof Points = evidence but
then MS could not really use the E word could they? as they appear to spend
so much of their time in a "independent non arbitrary legislatively enacted
conflict resolution space".

John,

What was even more "condescending" about the article was the line about Win
NT 4.0 support 39.000 different devices and that Linux doesn't support such
things as plug and play, USB and power management. So since when has NT 4.0
supported USB and plug and play ???

I don't expect MS to say good things about the oppositions products as I
realise doesn't make good biz sense. However to say a product fails in an
area where their own product fails too and to call it a reason to use their
own is a bit much for me !!!
