Matt, You have dragged me back in with this outrageous argument.
>So if Imail puts more that 10 mail accounts into Imail's registry for >Imail's services, it violates MS's nt4/w2k/xp workstation EULA? 100% >sure? Len, your skepticism is very well-founded. If the Registry license restriction existed, then you couldn't create more than 10 accounts in the local SAM for file sharing use, and there is no such restriction. Such anecdotal assertions are counterproductive. Before y'all pipe up, here's your due diligence: http://www.microsoft.com/ntworkstation/productinformation/archive/marketbulletins/ntlicensing.asp If you can see anything in there that even comes close to touching the issue of storing account information for >10 users (note *users* aren't even mentioned at all, but *connections*), I need new glasses. On the connections issue: how could we ever fight 'em, if we don't even agree that there's a fight? As Len noted, not only was there a fight, there was a firestorm over this very restriction 5+ years ago, with O'Reilly and Netscape arguing with MS over the supposedly endemic technical differences between NTW and NTS that MS used as an excuse for their draconian EULAs (which are now even worse, in my mind, since they don't even try to rationalize). MS never denied at the time that the 10-connection limit was meant to apply to all server software, regardless of vendor, and they second that in the link above. Please, everyone, at least hit the wayback machine for a few hours if we're going to reignite this...
