Yes, there are limitations to the system. As of this date, it has not yet solved world hunger or brought peace to the Middle East (or anywhere else AFAIK). It's a great (perhaps the best?) server operating system. And it has advantages over Linux as a desktop system in the opinion of many. One "cost" that should be mentioned, however, is a time-consuming, though perhaps not "difficult", learning curve. Want to ask some more specific questions? Feel free, then I could try to answer more specifically. Cheers, Kevin Kinsey DaleCo, S.P.
