Interesting.....

That site probably has had more hack attempts in the past week than Win2000Test (the Microsoft Test Windows 2000 Server) did when Microsoft announced it .

Still, it is to laugh at Unisys for screwing this one up. They seem to repel anyone with half a brain these days, from what I'm hearing from ex-Unisys guys (and I did have one working with us from their SAN group, among others).

And if I had to pay for a Microsoft site, why would I pay Unisys? Especially when Dell is kicking their ass left and right with everything, and they don't have to put up badly worded hate speech against UNIX to do it.

Besides, if I'm going to spend $2 million on a server, it's not going to be on one server unless it's an IBM zSeries. $2 million buys you a few Sun Fire or IBM RS/6000 boxes and the needed redundancy that any CIO is going to ask for, since $2 million = It Better Be Up 24/7 or someone gets axed.

Somehow I don't think that even Windows 2000 or .NET datacenter server can do that . At all of our clients (and no, we don't tell everyone who all of them are), when you cross a certain threshold, you're in z/OS, VMS, AIX or Solaris territory for databases or other apps that need a $2 million server.

Notice I didn't mention Tru64 or HP-(s)UX. I'm seeing less and less of them in data centers, and Compaq + HP = Disaster.
