This may not be a good link for the Microsoft list on the LUGOD site (eweek doesn't keep their links up as long as I would like) but it is a good review of the current MS effort. In short - more of the same from Redmond but this article points out the flaws well. http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,4149,1427005,00.asp?kc=EWNWS010704DTX1K0000599 Regards Mike
