Perhaps time is the missing axis? How old is that "40" box?

I believe that is misleading at best. It may even be deliberate propaganda to justify removing SIS. We've had several people post their SIS ratios in this thread, and only one has been anywhere close to a ratio of 1. Several have been 5 or more, and one was 40! While this isn't a scientific sample, it does suggest that SIS of real benefit for at least some people. Again, I suspect Microsoft is viewing this problem from the standpoint of large, multi-server shops, where you have lots of servers and lots of databases. In such cases, SIS can't help nearly as much. But for the single-server shops, I suspect it's a different story entirely. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
