You guys have it all wrong. In the last couple of years, MS has learned how to play nice with the other children. The REAL EVIL EMPIRE is the AOL Time Warner/Netscape/Sun cabal. Who's ambition is it to control both the media and the pipes? Who does not write code to standards? I run a network with WIN2K Advanced Server with 9x, NT, OS/2, MAC and a variety of Linux Distributions. The problem is never interoperability between OS's, except of course, older Mac's with all of their proprietary crap. The problems are always poorly written apps (including Netsacpe) and badly written drivers (including a plethora for 9x & Linux).
