Waider 1, Windows Networking zero.

I cannot say enough about how crappy the Windows Networking Model is. Especially when you read "hints and tips" which tell you flat out that "sometimes things disappear off the network for no good reason". And have an anonymous Microsoft engineer back them up on that. There are nice things about Windows Networking; I have yet to see as easily managed a security model (ha, yes, Microsoft and security, but no, really) with its trust relationships and domain control and the like, but the crap, especially the legacy crap that should have died in the fires of hell long ago, is just PAIN and AGONY and WRONG WRONG WRONG.

And now to bed.
