            Hal,

            I wasn't looking to start a Mac vs Windows war... In fact, it would be nice
    if Apple had a platform to run OS-X on like the now-dead Apple Network
    Server 500 & 700.

            To put it another way, would YOU run your mission critical Internet
    services (mail, WWW) on a G4 workstation? An iMac?!

            Cheers!
            Dan

    PS: Win2k/AS (Advanced Server) supports basic "shared nothing" clustering.
