    ..causing Jonny Public and his family endless grief, making them stick to windows 2000 or 98.

    The general public are stupid and would not even be able to handle that level of security! They'd want to know why their new mouse cursors can't be installed, why their IE search bar needs a password, etc, etc

    Yeah, you hit on the same problem as the space shuttle.. Its dangerous for some, so it wont be used!

    The way I see it, i'd rather hear of a few people getting problems than an entire plane load of people and perhaps whatever building load of people they plow into, dying altogether.

    Its that wretched "pink, soft and fluffy world" syndrome again!

    How about having the pilot violently jiggle the plane a bit, drop the oxygen masks.. which has been linked in with sleeping gas? (Only after a few minutes, obviously, dont want people zonking out straight away, making those who havent put the mask on yet suspicious! ;) )

    Actually, windows 2000 doesnt handle HT properly - it will report your system as having two physical processors. XP will say 1 physical and 1 logical, as will Win2003.

    Intel themselves recommend you disable HT under win2k, see:

    why cant you use remote desktop to get onto a windows server which has all the other things you need, like the sql manager?

    as for AD, you dont mention if you want to connect on it (in which case you should be able to use samba or ldap as your login controller) or administer it, in which case its the same as the sql manager..
