I found this article about Microsoft SFU being built into the new Windows 2003 Server R2 very interesting. http://news.com.com/Microsoft+makes+Unix+changes/2100-1016_3-5845790.html?ta... What does this signify?
It means Microsoft is now going to officially support the services. Before they treated SFU more like a "Resource Kit."
Is Windows ready to really co-exist with Unix / Linux ... or are they going to try and provide similar functionality because they recognize it is better technology moving forward?
They are all _legacy_ services -- NIS, NFS v2 (v3 yet?), Interix (formerly MKS) utilities, etc...
They literally have clients that require it.
