    OS X server licensing not as heinous as MS?

    Are you on crack? They're not in the same neighborhood, much less ball park.

    All Xserves come with unlimited client licenses. And the OS X Server software comes in two flavors, unlimited clients ($1k) and 10 clients ($500). The 10 client limitation ONLY applies to AFP connections. Everything else - mail, web, smb, ftp - is sill unlimited.

    Try putting 500 users on an Exchange server. Try putting 500 users on OS X Server. Spend the extra money on an all expenses paid conference trip to Vegas for two weeks.

    However, the test refers to 3mm/yr = 6cm or 2+ inches in 20 years.

    Though the first half of the twentieth century had a slower rise than the second half. So it could be increasing.

    Funny.

    OS X Server is more than just SMB it's also LDAP, Kerberos, DHCP, and other protocols (withOUT proprietary extensions, of course). It can do group policies, user policies and machine policies. Network home directories for BOTH platforms as well.

    Yes, you can rip out a PDC and replace it with an OS X Server. Been there, done that. You can't (yet) rip out an AD DC and fully replace it with OS X Server.

    But I'd guess that you will be able to before 2007 is over.

    I'm not sure that you know what Apple's LOM does. It does provide remote console login.

    Not sure why you'd want to do bullet point 1. What do you want to install to a console? Or has HP expanded the definition of LOM?
    I can kind of see why for #2, but then that's just for techs - who most likely shouldn't be messing with LOM anyway.
    It can do #3.
    Again, not sure why you'd need #4.

    Apple's LOM is about equivalent to HP's LO Standard. Considering that it's Apple's version 1, and HP's (probably) version 20, I think they're coming along nicely. Not perfect, not overkill featured, but not useless by any means.
