For the large corporate environment, I think your right. For the small business owner, this would never fly. Take my company for example. There is no way I'd recommend we spend $7k-$10k for a cisco firewall, then pump more money into a file server. SME has a PERFECT market nitch. It's primed to go head to head with Windows server and in my opinion it will win. This like any other development issue can and will be solved. Problem is, this community isn't coming together to solve the problem like it has on others in the past (50% of the posts are complaints about who's responsible and who isn't, etc.). This project needs some leadership and direction (wish I could offer more in this area but I'm still learning alot of this stuff). In my opinion, Mitel needs to play a role in this for it to be ultimately successful. A good example of this is implementing Samba 2.2 on SME 5.1. Wonderful collaborative effort. Regards, -- Greg J.
