Obviously, my point stands. You don't charge a client to host his services on a desktop operating system. ESPECIALLY, when it directly affects the performance of the machine in question. RDC is a secure connection to the server that will provide reliable services to a paying client and insures the best option of running a Microsoft platform at it's highest possible performance/reliability. "Personal preference" when it comes to charging a client for services needs to be pushed aside and use the platform that is specifically designed to provide this type of service. In following with the relativity to the HLDS list I am suggesting from first hand knowledge that the gentleman needs to run his services under the Win2K3 operating system to insure performance of the services running on it. I will not get into a "who's dick is bigger" conversation over my knowledge of the OS. It's been plainly stated the advantages of the OS over others in both this list and multiple venues on the internet. If he chooses to stay with a desktop operating system then he should "take what you get" and learn from his mistakes or seek the knowledge of others that use it instead of relying on a hosting salesman's impression of an OS's performance.

My reasoning is not that "Server" is in the product name. -- Hexis www.hxxl.com _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
