Active Directory is not a strength. In the flame of business IT, it's been vilified and hated as much as many other technologies ever have. It doesn't scale all that well, is full of security holes, incompatible with the rest of the world, bangs bazillions of useless packets off every edge device on the network and generally annoys the hell out of anyone clueful.
There are so many reason AD and its general usefulness don't match the tone of the article, it's hard to know where to begin. LDAP isn't much, if any, better, but at least it is a standard and the author chose not to even use it...
How much worse could the article BE? Misinformation, grammar and spelling problems, complete lack of credibility in any testing method disclosure, obvious bias, poor choices of use, lack of *nix knowledge... it's just... oh god, my head is pounding just thinking about it. Even microsoft has studies that are better than this, and that's scraping the bottom of the credibility barrel.
