Yet more M$ FUD. Their disclaimer pretty-much says it all:

Because Microsoft must respond to changing market conditions, it should not be interpreted to be a commitment on the part of Microsoft, and Microsoft cannot guarantee the accuracy of any information presented after the date of publication.
" END QUOTE
"Current view", eh. I expect that that phrase will translate into English as "we'll tell all this until someone busts us cold in yet more lies." "Cannot guarantee" likely translates as "We know it's BS, but we're gonna tell it anyway."
The sad thing is there there are still a lot of folks out there who swallow that pack of nonsense whole. As for me, I'll stick to RH because (1) I _know_ it works (2) with about 10% as much admin overhead [MY time!], (3) I haven't come up with a need for _anything_ that I either couldn't get a driver for or couldn't get the right software for and (4) nearly reliably, FREE or darn-near it.
Oh by the way, with no registry to screw up, installing and uninstalling works each and every time. What more would I as an ISP need to know?
Thanks for the read, guys. I always did like to check out the comic-strips first :-)
