Jeff...
Make it a three-beer lunch! :)
All kidding aside, I'm not a Gates fan, either... Just a Dave Cutler fan.
[For the uninitiated, Dave Cutler is the father of VMS; and then he was
hired away in 1989 by M$ to create NT. That is why enterprise-level NT
tools (such as Diskeeper and UltraBac) often originated in the VMS arena,
and were *then* ported to NT.]
Cheers!
