That statement doesn't even make sense, SQL Server doesn't have the ability to be a DC...its a database. "The clutter was quickly becoming a maintenance issue for the IT staff" Its also sloppy journalism to imply that Windows sucks because the 10 year OS & hardware falls down every two weeks. Anyone still running NT 4 is not interested in maintenance. And his dept of "server specialist" picked Xandros which is a desktop distro. No training budget for SQL Server but switching to Linux and a new database, MySQL?, requires no training? Sloppy article “Flores said he and his staff tested SQL Server and were uncomfortable with the way that the software wanted to take over domains and become the domain controller”

Sloppy article

"“day of two”" in subheading 3, paragraph 10. Any open positions for a proofreader? :) Nice article though, despite being a shameless "Xanros infomercial". Some typing errata:
