While we're all waiting for Whistler to spur PC demand... theregister.co.uk Active Directory bug fix put back until Whistler An important bug involving the operation of Active Directory won't be addressed until Microsoft releases the next version of its operating system. ... A fix was expected to be included in Service Pack 2 for Windows 2000 but this has now being put back, for reasons a cynic would suggest have a great deal to do with a disappointingly poor uptake of Microsoft Active Directory (MAD). The directory technology has not become a "killer application" for the many users rolling out Windows 2000, so Microsoft is now apparently ironing out the bugs and repositioning MAD as a key reason to move to Windows XP (Whistler). ® MAD... that's aptly named... Where I come from, MAD means "Mutually Assured Destruction". You'd think someone at Microsoft could come up with a better name ;) -fyo
