Hey...

Let's not forget that MSFT did invest/buy into Banyan for their Vines product too. Seems to me they are trying to shrink the market by devouring all the "smaller" fish in this pond. In that way, they will at least make some marketshare for their Active Directory product(assuming the Vines and Zoomit clients stay onboard).

Other than that, it's a very strong indicator that they feel their product can not compete with NDS head-to-head.

I'm waiting for Cisco to jump full speed ahead in their support of NDS. That single announcement will be the final straw on ADs back (IMHO).
