I'm certainly not one that can be viewed as being and M$ bigot, nor even
kind to their constant blunders in the market place, yet they are a
popular product line, and I do have to play with their products as it fits
the clients wants and wishes, and if cisco is positioning their pixen as
universal, then they should perhaps deal with such isuues, or make sure
that their marketing brochures state they are not M$ compatible and aware.
So, is that information sighted in the marketing lingo for the pix
product? Is it something that is made known up front to potential
customers, or hidden away in FAQ's and manuals?
So, while many of us unix oriented bigots might not care much about this,
there's a good number of folks that would like a clue from the beginning
when trying to determine what fits their needs and purposes, yes?
Thanks,

OK, so you're a Ph.D. Just don't touch anything.
