True, it may be a bit rash....

But frankly, after the kinds of stunts M$ is *still* pulling (see the
article on Kerberos for w2k) they are attempting to eradicate every
other OS on the face of the planet.  And they just might do it.  Then
Unix will be just another university/academia OS.  We'll all just sit
around and reminisce on how great it was when there were other
operating systems for PC's.  Hey, people get obsessive over things they are
passionate about.

So, as windows continues to chip away at the Unix market, most people
just sit idly by and watch.  At least he's willing to do something
about it.

I only hope (and i believe this is true) that there are plenty of
brilliant programmers who can overturn any roadblock M$ puts in front
of other OS's.  Like this Kerberos issue.  What can Unix admins do to
allow unix machines to work with w2k file and print servers now?  M$
is trying to lock them out.  Is there a way around it?
