As momentum grows around its new Windows Home Server line, which is due for release towards the end of this year, Microsoft is looking to keep the love flowing with its hardware partners, software developers and end users alike.
Joel Sider, Senior Program Manager for Windows Home Server, told APC that the company intends to release a software development kit for the platform early next month.

WTF? Lots of experienced techies use windows, but I find the most experienced ones use what is best for them, and keep those sorts of digs to themselves.
I think you've taken my comments a little personally. I'm by no means saying Windows is benief the an experienced techie - just that even techie minded users who don't have (or want) any experience of *nix can still cope with setting up a basic NT server.
Granted it was worded badly (english is far from my best subject) but it really wasn't a snub at Windows NT nor Windows administrators.

"Microsoft fans have Window 2000/XP Pro and the more experienced techies have *nix. "
WTF? Lots of experienced techies use windows, but I find the most experienced ones use what is best for them, and keep those sorts of digs to themselves.
I myself use Windows as a fileserver at home, and use FreeBSD or Ubuntu as my desktop. I have been a tech for about 20 years now, so I doubt I would call myself inexperienced. I have/do maintained Windows, AIX, Netware, Linux servers and Mac OS classic, OS X, Windows and Linux desktops. When you make stupid statements like that, you sound very condesending and more than a bit ignorant.
Who says this isn't needed for the less than technically inclined? XP's networking can be quitre cranky at times, especially when talking to Win98/2k systems, and most Linux distro's Samba config can be quite daunting to a non-technical person. This could be the thing that those customers need, at least somebody is doing it.
