Star Windows Server Is Out of Sync with Windows 7
Linked by Thom Holwerda on Thu 26th Mar 2009 17:12 UTC, submitted by inkslinger
Windows "Even though Microsoft has, in the past, made marketing capital from synchronising its releases, group product manager Ward Ralston says that the desktop and server groups are two separate units that do not need to be released simultaneously. Windows 7 will should make its official appearance this year, but that major shift in the desktop experience isn't going to be matched with a similar sea-change on the server Operating System front. Microsoft has settled for only a minor upgrade to Windows Server 2008."

Ask the people who developed Samba if they share your opinion on this! Perhaps then it will dawn on you.

What will dawn on me? That the Samba devs did an incredible job? That they did it with no help from MS? That's my point. A lot of the interoperabilty problems were solved by hardworking OSS devs, and the EU ruling was like closing the barn door after the cows have already left. It made their jobs easier, but they already had done most of the ground work anyway.

Same as this stupid browser investigation they have going on now. There is more competition in the browser market than ever before, and the EU is just wasting time and money. Oh, and Windows N? Not one person bought it. Maybe someday the EU will deal with problems when they are relevant, lets hope.

Good thing I am not an EU citizen, I would be pretty annoyed with them. They look like Opera's and Googles bitches.
