However... are you sure about that?

- The inability to recover data without resorting to tape is a life
saver in a Net Admins job!   

- The GUI uses valuable memory and slows performance significantly.
Ditto for the animations.

- A fragmented NTFS volume....does the same (above)

- Diagnostic tools?  Ever look at what MS gives you with Exchange
Server.  Isinteg, edbutil are nearly completely useless!  The only
fail safe utility (xmerge) wasn't even written by Microsoft and fails
to backup all the Exchange user information.  Absolutely shameful!!
Microsoft should be sued for this blatant disregard for it's clients.

Opinions and preferences?  Hardly...more like simple facts.

I neglected to mention one of Microsoft's bigger lies.  Little or no
scalability and it's inconsistent at best.

Take care,
