Where did you get the idea that IB 6 is the only open source database in the world? :) At this point the problems that IB 6 has with XP and 2003 are annoying but not critical. You have to disably hyperthreading in the system BIOS if you have a hyperthreaded processor because IB 6 is actually slower under hyperthreading. Access to isc4.gdb is slower on XP because system restore backs up any file with a .gdb extension every time it is changed. The first connection to Win2003 is very slow due to a change that Microsoft made in the TCP/IP stack. The problems can only get worse as new versions of Windows are released. If you want open source to reduce costs that is fine but I cannot see how you or your users benefit from using an open source database that is not being developed when there are other options. -- Bill Todd (TeamB)
