Again a bunch of drivel instead of real world examples. How about some Internet sites using Novell technology? Hit rates, concurrent pages access, peak downloads, Ecommerce $ volume would be interesting if they exist. Heck Novell just converted their own web site from Unix and Apache this past summer. As for Border Manager and fake benchmarks, it doesn't even have basic Proxy performance features such as load-balanced cache, reverse proxy or host, server proxy or FTP cache. Check out microsoft.com BTW, customers tour the MSFT operations center daily. Including SAP running on NT. Are they any ERP applications for NetWare? Oh and NTS and it's directory service which has over 600 integrated applications is outselling all versions of NetWare combined by 50%. NT is competing and winning with current product. Windows 2000 and AD just broaden the scale and scope. Wake up Toy, become aware that distributed computing requires scalable directory databases. BTrieve? You have got to be kidding. I thought it was an internal project called RDP or something. Keithsha
