Caveat Emptor. MicroSoft is not the only business culpable for selling a pig-in-a-poke. That term pre-dates MS by a few thousand years. Any moron stupid enough to fall for that scam deserves what happens to their stock. MicroSoft's dot net scalable enough to run SAP for a fortune 500? Come on, what kind of crack is their CIO smoking? You'd be darn lucky if a Linux cluster could pull that off, you'd be a candidate for sainthood if you could get XP to do it! Smoke and mirrors. If you can get Windows to do what your Unix servers used to do, you never needed Unix to start with! You could have saved the money and had NT on a couple of PII/400's running their tiny little legs off.
