That's what happens when you close your eyes and enter a state of Denial
Again Morgan.

NT 3.51 and 4.0 where pretty hard to use; I've worked for many folks who got
there money's worth out of their investment tho which is what matters to the
business.

2003, 2003 R2 are very different products - it's a pitty you've closed your
eyes to them; but please - keep your misconceptions and myths to yourself
and stop migrating your myths/misconceptions from a very early version onto
the current version - pretty much like you do with SQL Server.....


I've been on every version from whatever it was when the IBM PC first
came out to XP. Each time I try to give it a fair try. Each time it
bitch-slaps me. I use XP 8-12 hours a day. I'm not happy about it.
I'm glad most of the work is just using X or browsers to get to real
servers. I have no choice about mail and app clients and OS at
customers.

I sometimes think about putting up an "X days with no Microsoft
problems" sign on my cube. I could do it with a 1 and a 0, without
using binary. But the guy whose job it is to deal with those problems
is a nice guy and doesn't deserve it.

I bought a couple of 500G Buffalo drives for backing stuff up at home
(couple of XP computers). It came with Memeo autobackup software.
The first time I used the backup, it died with a misleading error.
After some back-and-forth on their forum, eventually figured out it
was because Buffalo ships the drive formatted FAT-32, and Memeo was
trying to write a 4.5G file. Many questions about this on the board
and an answer in the FAQ which had no mention of this obvious and
stupid problem. Memeo leaves mysterious file handles open even after
you kill it off, making for some interesting issues trying to
reformat. Buffalo docs say to use their reformatting facility, which
doesn't have NTFS as an option. This is typical for most vendors in
the MS world and products from MS. At least, that has been my
experience over and over for more than a quarter century. Maybe it is
skewed, but so? Am I wrong to expect people writing software for
money to give at least a modicum of quality?

Why should I think SQL Server, especially newer features trying to
catch up with what Oracle has had users pounding on for years, should
be any different? Whether Dan is biased or coming from a position of
knowledge, I agree with his sentiment.
