That's what I've been wondering... either that or it's "Hey... we can't be a monopoly, because we do it the same way as Unix!" My other thing is.... Windows 2k is NOT easy to setup if you do all the profiles and security that Microsoft wants you to use.. Plus, it seems like quite a few tools have migrated BACK to the command prompt... The more I get into it, the more like a new "graphical" Unix clone it feels like... granted it's a Unix clone with a Microsoft outlook on things.
