I think it's just the latest example of vendors kow-towing to their mass-market customers demand that everything they use has their favorite windoze interface, and which works with their favorite windoze features like Active Directory. Nothing really new there. The linux and unix communities can either sit back and wait until these people come to their senses (could be a long wait), or if they really think it's important, can develop enough compatibility with windoze to convince the usual simple-minded end-users that they don't necessarily have to use a native windoze product for everything. For example I don't see why a user would even have to know what OS is at the core of a NAS device if it is designed to be managed from a web browser. If the users still insist on it being windoze-based in such a situation, I say they're a lost cause and they should be left to stew in their bizarre biases. -- Philip J.
