As fundamental a task as establishing (usable) trust between domains on LAN segments connected by a router required reference to the bug and work-around lists on the Technet CD, and diagnostic tools are nonexistent. Once they get WINS, DHCP, and the browser working on IP nets with more than one physical segment, I might take them seriously with something like CIFS.
