Hmmm, I think I heard a BINGO out there ;)!  Last few years, I saw the same 
thing with NetWare which I _KNOW_ to be stable in a WAN environment but 
rarely saw running that way.  I believe that the "PC Mentality" in upper 
management is the problem there -- PC's are cheap so their maintenance ought 
to be cheap, regardless of whether you have one or ten thousand >8(.  In my 
experience, regardless of venue, "you pay peanuts, you get monkeys"...

JMHO,
