Microsoft comparing their current OS to an old version
of a rival product is nothing new.  It is one of the
oldest plays in their marketing playbook.  They used
the same strategy for years when comparing NT and 2000
against Netware. �Look at what Windows 2000 server can
compared to Netware 3.11."  I always enjoyed the looks
I got when I mentioned later versions of Netware in
the midst of a seminar or sales pitch by MS
salesfolks.
