I guess it's because the NT Services for the Mac are so GOOD that MS
has basically left them untouched since the NT3.51 release? A few bug-
fixes, excuse me, Service Packs with some patches and HotFixes aside.
Just wanted to say that we have been using NT as servers for our Macs
but are now at the point of looking very seriously at G3 servers with
ASIP 6.1. Getting tired of dealing with the NT antics...
Oh, did I mention all the security holes in NT? One of the reasons we
need a G3 server is because our NT techies refuse to open up access
to email over the net - too many holes, they say. One of them is a leading
author on NT so I guess he knows ;-) Since NT doesn't come with a mail
server, ASIP looks even better.
Either way, I trust OSX to be released before NT5, I mean Win2000,
the way things are heading at present.
