Now compare what you can do with the ISC DHCP server, and what you can?t do
with a Windows server - not to mention that the Windows server is NOT RFC
compliant and relies on client behaviour (which is why the Windows client is
such a PITA at times) to work properly. Even though I?ve never got into
anything complicated, I?ve hit cases where the Windows admin responds to what I
think is a simple request with ?I can?t see how to do that? - ditto with DNS vs
BIND.
Oh yes, does Windows allow you to edit a range yet - I know it didn?t during
the 2+ decades I spent at my previous jobs.
For more fun, compare what it?s like to fix when the AD goes down ...

Indeed. It's like a luxury car versus a race car. That luxury car is a
dream to ride in, but you can only get it fixed at an expensive
dealership because the contents are all proprietary. Assuming that they
have an expert mechanic who knows those proprietary details. The race
car can be a rough ride, but you have full access to diagnose and repair
its contents. THIS is why I love open source.
