I HAVE SEEN IT ONLY IN LAB ENVIRONMENTS PROVIDING ROUTING SERVICES(SORRY FOR
THE UPPERCASE TYPE, MY CAPS LOCK IS STUCK!), IT WAS FULLY FUNCTIONAL IN ITS
DUTIES(UPDATING ROUTING TABLES AND PROVIDING THE MOST ACCURATE, EXPEDIENT
ROUTES ETC. I DON'T THINK THAT MICROSOFT IS TRYING TO INSINUATE THAT ONE
SHOULD UTILIZE THEIR SERVER AS A TRUE ROUTING DEVICE TO REPLACE THE LIKES OF
CISCO OR OTHER VENDORS. I think that they are(got control of the caps lock
option, that little rascal is a real pain), simply building on a
pre-existent technology that is native to their NOS similarly to Novell,
SUN, HP etc. Often times its a matter of economics that drives one to
utilize a server as a router. Does that help?
