What? An M$ addon for my BSDi server? And it wants control!?

One customer that was interested in this, wasn't interested in getting me
the infomation I needed. When I did... one look and said, "g'bye!"
NOT!

Sorry to hear that you even tried it, but I didn't like the way it had to be
implemented.
Bill and M$ are starting to really get on our nerves here. One of our sales
reps was called by an M$ rep... well to keep things short, it's going to be
mighty embarrasing for them to have a booth next to the sponsers of
Cyberfest, New Rock Direct, next week when they have to hand out Netscape's
personal edition, as we have seen a 15% success rate with IE.
Just damn glad that they are NOT in control of the net.
