  Life is a series of compromises.  Deal with it.

  I'll take that as "adding more features in newer releases".

  Windows 8 is the first version which supports TTLS.  While this should
arguably have been done years ago, it's nice to have it now.

  And if you're arguing against upgrades, you can do the same for
FreeRADIUS.  Version 3.0 will support RadSec (RADIUS over SSL).  Version
2.x will not.  Ever.

  They have different priorities.

  FreeRADIUS is about making software that works.

  Microsoft is about money.

  Guess which one works well, and which one has more money?
