Not only that, but based on our experience with Mac and Netware servers,
we bought one big honkin' NT server and tried to run everything on it.
Learned our lesson quickly. Currently we're at (2) Mac servers, (1)
Netware server (on its way out), and (5) NT servers, soon to become 7!
How much do the hardware manufacturers kick back to Micro$oft, any way?
