The announcement that Microsoft is dropping support for NDS is good for the industry insofar as it provides a refresh signal regarding Microsoft's approach to competition. Having said that, Novell should fold its tent while they still have the opportunity. Despite having pockets of reasonable technology, what Novell has to offer is still an incoherent, incomplete and shoddy morass. We will especially support the one .DLL that we have enhanced, the SAMSRV.DLL, which allows NT Server and NT Server applications to take advantage of NDS. We will also try to answer any questions we can about the SAMLIB.DLL, which we have not altered at all. As to any security related concerns, we have wrapped NDS security around the domain information and left NT's security model untouched. Nobody gives a rat's sphincter about the names of DLLs. This demonstrates, categorically, that Novell still doesn't get it. Then they go on to plead users to trust that they didn't screw anything up when they "wrapped" NT's security model. God, I can't wait for these buffoons to pack it up and get the hell out of town because they make Microsoft look like heros and technological geniuses.
