I get a kick out of your replies Reg. This was your reply to Justin about MSFT is using it's advantage in the OS market to coerce consumers to not use NOVL. Embrace, extend, and demolish. Consumers and free choice be damned.

I is this attituted that makes the average consumer ridicule those that hate MSFT.How is MSFT coercing my small business not to use NOVL? I simply feel MSFT offers a better solution.

Check this out and remember the dates.

Microsoft now plans to refuse technical support to any Windows NT customers who install Novell's Novell Directory Services (NDS) for NT - regardless of whether the problem actually lies with NDS.

For administrators running NT-only networks, the directive from Redmond, Wash., is clear: Wait for Microsoft's forthcoming Active Directory if you need a comprehensive directory and want NT technical support.

This kind of tactics has nothing to do with superior products and only can be stopped by either the DOJ breaking up microslop or else the consumers rebelling by refusing to buy Microslop.

In the end the consumer is the one who suffers. Come on were is Ralph Nader when you need him.

I can't wait for your explaination on this one and you can use this technicial BS answer. You said Microslop is superior so you can't use that BS excuse.
