Wow who wrote that article in the magazine? That is pretty bad.
The end result is the same though as stated by everyone so far. If you have
a single domain there is only slight overhead if you make all DCs into GCs.
The only overhead I can really think of is that you will have more global
catalog DNS records and all DCs are listening on an extra 1-2 ports... That
is easily outweighed by the gain of having lots of GC availability.
Not sure what space usage you would incur by NOT doing it as indicated by
the article. The whole IM role thing is pretty oddly described as well.
