So what...they're allowed to use any server software they please...I don't find this at all surprising.

I honestly don't see this as proof of Microsoft not believing in their own software. We all know that Windows 2003 is still in the beta phases. Even *nix distrobutions don't run their websites on beta software. I fail to see any relevance whatsoever.

Barcode, it's nice to finally find a topic in which we are partially in agreement. Will this be the last? I hope not. Smile

I am glad to hear this...perhaps at a future date we'll be on better terms.

Ravish...there are some words that I find myself holding back with each post of his I see. It takes much strength, however, I'm afraid the force in this aspect of me isn't so strong.

Only the bandwidth is strong in this one. Tongue
