Thats what I said : the two together - not alone and not with anything
else. That works for me. A stand alone network with only NT and NT
server. You get password protection and the ability to track users on
the network. Minimum C2. Perhaps I read it wrong, but that is what I got
from it.

Nah. They could have left out all the object reuse stuff, for example,
that has nothing to do with security. When I was evaluating documents
for various agencies, we used to hide SAIC stuff at the bottom of the
stack. We knew how difficult it was going to be to find the wheat among
their chaff. They covered the bases, but seemed to think they were paid
by the word.

I don't think anyone at MS noticed until /. posted the story. I'll admit
it takes up to 24 hours for the whole world to not be able to find MS
and during that time you could still ping many of the sites with the
dotted quad. That was what I was told to do when I tried to access a
site served by MS. I called in a report, was told to try to ping. I
pinged, got back a response (330 ms delay, 60% dropped) and was told,
"See we're up, its your Domain Name resoulution."

Actually, most Linux users are more technical than
the average windows user, and furthermore, most
Linux users were windows users at one time. So the
idea that a Linux user can't tell the difference between
95 and nt is just plain silly.

My favorite is holding my breath while printing. Windows would crap out
at least half the time while printing. I wasted a lot of paper. I
found it to be slightly more reliable if I stepped back from the keyboard
and held my breath. Now I did think maybe it was just a crappy driver
for that cheap Canon printer than came with my PC. So, when I bought my
new Epson 880, I figured I would give Windows another try. No luck.
Same problem. More paper wasted as my face turns blue. Now Linux never
had a problem with either printer. Perfect printout every time.

In server ability, windows lags way behind Linux.

It would be sad if it were true. Stardock's white papers are pretty
clear on the matter.
To quote the Object Desktop for Windows white paper written 2 years ago
originally:
Begin quote --
What about Microsoft?
Since the day Stardock began working on Object Desktop, a common
question Stardock has received has been “What about Microsoft? Aren’t
you afraid that they’ll steal your ideas?” Fear implies uncertainty.
There is no uncertainty here. We fully expect Microsoft to integrate
our concepts into future versions of Windows. From a marketing point
of view, we are absolutely counting on it since it makes true our
marketing message – putting Object Desktop on your system is like
running a future version of Windows, today.
As Microsoft incorporates our concepts into Windows, this provides
Stardock the ability to indirectly influence the direction Windows
takes and allows us to continue forward on our goal of improving the
user experience. As Microsoft implements our concepts, new APIs are
born, new features can thus be created. For instance, when Microsoft
added alpha blended shadows into Windows 2000, this allowed us to have
shadows that are supported at the OS level rather than us having to
manually simulate them. We could then create the WindowFX Object
Desktop component that provided full window shadows and
transparencies. Similarly, if Microsoft adds additional theming
support to Windows, this means new APIs must be created, APIs we can
use to extend our goals further. Each improvement to Windows itself
provides new opportunities for Object Desktop.
There is the additional benefit as well, since Object Desktop works
across multiple versions of Windows, we benefit from users and
companies who want to roll out a standardized environment across
multiple versions of Windows (for instance, WindowFX works on Windows
ME, but is accelerated on Windows 2000).
Object Desktop on OS/2 had a similar effect on IBM. When IBM created
OS/2 Warp 4, Object Desktop’s influence could not be denied. Features
such as the “WarpCenter” (similar to OD’s Control Center) to the
positioning of the close button (in the exact same place as Object
Desktop’s placement) to the default layout of the OS/2 Warp 4 desktop
made many speculate that IBM was “out to get” Object Desktop. Nothing
could have been further from the truth. If the developers of Object
Desktop had their wish, they would be OS developers. But the next best
thing is being able to help guide the direction of OS development and
Object Desktop can help do that. Thus, while OS/2 Warp 4 borrowed many
concepts from Object Desktop 1, Object Desktop 2.0, released shortly
after OS/2 Warp 4’s release, provided a host of new environment
concepts. We hope the same comes true on Windows. Otherwise, Object
Desktop’s feature set becomes limited. We can only move so far forward
on a set of features without the OS vendor keeping its set of APIs
improving forward, preferably in the direction we are trying to go.

I'm prepared to suspend judgement, but your endless
woes just sound so improbable to me - I feel you are
getting a real kick out of seeing how you can flounder
about, stumbling and reeling from one crisis to the next.
My experience with Linux has been much nicer than
that, and if I do say so, you seem too intelligent for those
sorts of difficulties to be genuine.
