	While this is great news and all, I think ZDNet kinda missed the point.
Samba is an open-source product that runs on all kinds of platforms.
Supposedly, it actually outperforms NT when it's running *on* NT.  And the
MPE/iX version is supposed to scream compared to any other platform -- MS,
*n.x or otherwise.

	Still, it's amazing how fast they've gone from "Nobody ever got fired for
buying MS" to "Linux Rules!"
