As many of you may remember I did a review of Windows Services for UNIX 3.0 (SFU) a few months ago. I remember being frustrated with that release because it seemed to me that all Microsoft did was throw something together just to be able to say "Hey look, we have this". I thought, since Microsoft released version 3.5, I would revisit and see what changes were done with it. I downloaded the beta version a while back and from the beta I was very impressed with the improvements that Microsoft made. Being a beta version it was buggy and some things just didnt quite work. I finally got the final version of the OpenBSD-based SFU 3.5 and this release makes dynamic leaps and bounds over previous releases of this software package. I am glad to see a lot more work was put into this release.

Gee, they do call it XP Home. Why would you think it should be suitable for business? Disabling features in software to match a price point is hardly a Microsoft only business practice.
"It's just a toy to use for running games at home... or for email/websurfing/docwriting, but if you only do those, better switch to linux or osx and live without the expense AND hassle of antivirus+windowsupdate..."
If you consider home operating systems "toy's" you should be using Linux.
