I'd ask for tech. help, #but the MS-Sun war makes it hard to find a knowledgable and disinterested #party to ask. Oh, well, at least I'm not trying to run Novell:-) MS-Sun war? While I agree that both of us were slow off the mark on this (charitably let me assume that MS's hands were full coping with Novell, 3Com et al), Sun and MS are listening to our customers and working hard - *together* - on these issues. You should note that we are *not* going to rush out untested patches or specials: we think that the work is important enough to put it through the regular NPI process of full SQA, alpha, beta, etc. For good or ill, company policy prevents me from pre-announcing details or dates..... The bottom line: we're monitoring these discussions on comp.windows.ms and comp.protocols.nfs, answering questions where appropriate, and working on resolving the problems. -- Geoff Arnold, PC-NFS architect, Sun Microsystems.
