Hi: I came across this statement while looking for info on why desktop software can be so buggy: Excerpt: "How many non-technical people know that, at least as far as I know, one of the primary reasons Microsoft's NT and Win2k etc. actually works and remains stable on a LAN is that they used the BSD TCP/IP code. How pathetic it is that Microsoft, with all their billions, can't write clearly defined protocol stack software, uses open-source BSD's, and then spends millions trying to stymie open-source software! " From: http://anumail1.anu.edu.au/pipermail/link/2002-August/020463.html Is this true? That the Win 2000 and NT machines uses BSD code? -- Kind regards, Jonathan
