No way would it replace Linux+Samba as a fileserver /
AD server.
Look at the amount of resources being poured into Linux,
and the amount of work required in samba to implement a
compatible server.
No, a reimplemented NT really has no use in the server
space. As a client there should definitely be a niche,
though. Although I'll wager MS will step up efforts to
hamper this kind of thing like they do successfully with
AD/CIFS against samba.
Look at vista, with increasing requirements for HW 3d
acceleration. Now consider that 3d drivers are closed
source, and that both nv and ati completely closed up
sources and specs after getting xbox contracts.
