Good luck then because most of the machine won't work!
Ron Stodden from Optus Australia,
99% of users do not have access to cable modem: There are only 2 people who have
complained on this list about it. And this list has more than 200 subscribers. So
from my Divine Authorithy, I punish you to spend the rest of your life into the
accounting department...
Moreover Optus is own by Cable&Wirelless a well known company for its
monopolistic, anti development and colonialist practises.
Go'd Day Mate!
Enough rant, let just get on with it: The reality is that MS is not yet geared
toward the corporate market and more towards the home user.
Cheers.
