    I just got through a rough BSOD incident with NT 4.0 - Although I wouldn't call the assistence I got from Microsoft "helpful", it did technically qualify as "support".

    But Apple's really going to have to get their sh1t together on this - or they'll never be taken seriously in the Enterprise.

    Now that I think about it - I don't think Apple's ever really put any thought at all to that anyway. The XServe's basically a prosumer device to appeal to the geeks who've always wanted a rack system in their home. You won't really ever see one in a real data center.
