	Problem is, FreeBSD (and Unix in general) is already a better 
Windows Services server than Microsoft -- just look at Tom 
Limoncelli's paper "Providing Reliable NT Desktop Services by 
Avoiding NT Server" at 
<http://www.bell-labs.com/user/tal/papers/ntdesktop/ntdesktop/ntdesktop.html>.

	However, this fact doesn't seem to be helping many people, and 
indeed, it seems that most of the Universe is completely and 
blissfully ignorant of this fact.  I don't think that the situation 
could possibly improve with .NET.
