You're not the first to pose that question, Peace!! 
Seriously, our stuff is very cool, and I think we bring a lot to the wintel world. Our ftServer product line is catching on, albeit slowly -- tough economy to be introducing new technology to the world

Uh-oh. Business talk again. I spent 2 hours yesterday trying to get my 
ing HP OfficeJet printer at home working on my new laptop. It was working, but then for some reason it stopped talking to the print server. I later realized it must have been a malfunction in the port-to-print server hardware interface, because the network connection was still good through the hub. But in the meantime, I deleted the printer, and then had a HELL of a time reinstalling it because it's an older model of HP OfficeJet. Sometimes technology really SUCKS.

I am really getting to like XP, it's pretty cool. But as with all evolutions, the driver support for older stuff isn't there. And HP forces you to download the 22.5 MB file of ing software just to get the driver. 
ing software just to get the driver.

Yep...what even worse is when they go...."We aren't developing drivers for that anymore, but you can use an older one from model....blah..blah...blah.." You cross your fingers and hope most of the functions still work.
I will be installing XP this week on my laptop. They are wanting me to start rolling it out, so I better learn what I'm deploying. The only thing I don't like about it so far is the hesitations. Every XP pc I've used so far has it. Like when you highlight files and copy them to your clipboard...the thing stalls for a few seconds. No other OS has done that.

Hi guys,
oink, oink...
I didn't mean to sidetrack into an advert. for my company, but I always get jazzed talking about it. We have pluses and minuses against clusters (mostly pluses
). If you're interested, go take a look at www.stratus.com. The product line is called ftServer -- and we ship Windows 2000 on it. We also have legacy products called Continuum which are more like older minis and probably not interesting. Any ?'s, lemme know.
XP is a pretty nice user-friendly OS. We've been using it at home on our laptop, and many folks in the office are using it now. Our ftServers will support .NET (the server platform of XP) next year when it's released.

How are you guys fairing up against competitors such as Compaq and HP? I thought you guys sold just clustering solutions for other platforms until now. I had no clue you were talking your own platforms. Is the hardware proprietary?
