Kind of confirms that Microsoft and the NT brigade will tell
their customers & prospects any old tat to try gain control of
their future reguardless of how painfull the customer will
ultimately find the experience.
Readers should not only note the history but also that Microsoft
and other vested interests are _still_ trying to push this third
rate technology.
Caveat Emptor.
Sorry if you find this a bit off the info-performer beaten path,
please refer all replies to me directly or go & join the ever
degenerating flame wars on comp.graphics.misc.api (I think).
Cheers,
Angus.
