  Well, I suppose it depends on how you define "much longer".  Sure, BIND
will take longer to configure than MS-DNS, if the person in question is
familiar with MS-DNS and not familiar with BIND.  But such is the case with
any new product; should people forever restrict ourselves to only the
software we are familiar with?  If so, what should people do when Microsoft
releases the next big change to MS-DNS?

  As far as specific differences go: The zone file format is the same for
both servers.  The BIND master configuration would be totally new, but on
the other hand, it is well-documented.  I would think it might take less
than a day for one to become familiar with it.
