The following quote was included in a sales letter from Microsoft for Windows Server 2003 that I received last week:
We upgraded from our NT domain to Microsoft Windows Server 2003 with Active Directory in just one evening. Now our IT staff has a directory enabled environment to refine its control over the desktop, and new remote tools to manage our servers. We are saving time and money. Terence Cho, Network Manager, Nancy’s Specialty Foods
I passed the letter with the words, “Now our IT staff has a directory enabled environment to refine its control over the desktop” circled to my Network Administrator with the note; “We’ve had this with Netware since when? 1997?”
He called me back and said, “Can you believe it? Microsoft has created this really cool thing called a directory. Isn’t that great!”
Who says sarcasm is dead in America?
