 	I guess NT people don't even read their own trade journals.
	How do you set up dynamic routing on NT? (e.g., OSPF?) Name
	a single routing protocol NT uses ( "Static" is not a routing
	protocol). How many servers do you need to do a remote reboot?
	More than ONE you say? How many users can work on NT when you
	are doing bakups? Less than ONE you say? Why is it that the 
	only way NT managed to meet the POSIX standards the gov't now 
	requires (as of apr 3) for purchase was through OpenNT ( A 
	unix shell for NT )? Why are the network diagnosics in the 
	NT manuals (netstat, etc) unix like to the point of replicating 
	the syntax? Why can NT not even transport its own graphical 
	interface to another machine (even an NT machine). Why is 
	the only graphical interface that NT can transport X, which 
	is fundamentally Unix (though platform independent in principle)? 
	Who wrote winsock which actually allowed a microsoft product
	to use TCP/IP and post this propaganda?(HINT: It was not
	microsoft.) Did the "Start Me Up" commercials cut into the 
	network development budget?
	
	I rest your case.

	I took the liberty of thinning the header, removing such relavent
	newsgroups as comp.security.unix, from which I encountered the 
	groundbreaking security information to which I am replying.
	I suggest others that receive this despite the fact that they
	have no idea what it this has to do with knitting or pottery,
	delete themselves and reply until the proper folks get all of
	the responses they can use.
	
	I also notices ms.os programming types. How about a radio
	button that toggles crosspost/nocrosspost/selfpost? selfpost
	something which gives the user the satisfaction of seeing
	his/her name out in the exciting glamour, without posing a
	continual threat to the sanity of the world at large?
