so tell when youre ready.
I d only wanted to describe which problems are accour in bigger networks with allready on the market solutions, i dont wanted
somebody held away from hacking new and better ways
I would prefer a apt-get install solution for windows *g
Youre all right it is time to start a new project about this,
so i will be the firs beta tester if youre on the way
Best Regards

So writing a all featured solution would be to much for a open source project i think.
No, it is just that a proper solution to the problem requires different work procedures and tools to arrive at the desired end-point. It is not simply "take what we have today and plug in a tool to fix it all"... the proper solution requires starting over on a clean piece of paper and building a system which answers all of the requirements presented in computing today. Adding duct tape tools to today's patchwork quilt of computing is just one more piece in the patchwork quilt, it's not a new picture at all.
Spot on ! But isn't that an argument to scrap Windows ;-)
Perhaps MS sometime will release a good working solution themselves, then the way would be free to clone this with open source
Why do you think all good ideas must first come from M$, then to have a subset of the features implemented in a free / open source version. M$ does not have the vision market cornered by any means!
It's not that only MS can have the vision, they are the ONLY player with the clout to make anything new in that line happen :-(
The open source community could come up with a perfect, fully featured, gold plated solution - but unless MS were to endorse it then it simply would NOT get the support from the application vendors. Without the support of the application vendors, then it isn't going to solve the difficulties of installing and configuring applications.
However, if MS come up with a solution, you can bet that it will be full of security holes, be insanely complicated, and require all the esoteric stuff they can throw into the pot 'because it's there' - oh yes, and it won't work how the documentation say it does.
