Yes; disappointment in the blog posting by an otherwise respected person. Actually, I do like virtualization (ask Steve about my latest toy). I'd really love it if we could have a policy that didn't have to consider the "but I wanna!!!!" 1d10t'5 that will try to blame ISA for what it can't control. Remember the IPv6 fiasco of last year? That was started by an MVP, no less... Imagine what "Joe IsaAdmin" will try to do (seen the NG postings lately?). I'm trying to work out something a bit better than what we currently have, but what (nearly) everyone forgets is that any ISA support statement has to be balanced on the needle-point of "support". Our CSS folks have to be able to recognize fact from bullshrimp and we all know that "customers never lie; they merely misrepresent certain facts"... MS counts support costs in minutes and every minute that the CSS folks waste sorting out the ISA deployment into "supported & unsupported" wastes time for the customer and MS both. -----Original Message----- From: isapros-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:isapros-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Amy Babinchak Sent: Tuesday, September 25, 2007 10:19 AM To: isapros@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [isapros] Re: ..and the noise increases... Jim, Is that disappointment I see in the subject line? Don't you know? Virtualization is the solution to all things. It's backup. It's totally secure. It's business continuity. And it's cheap! What could possibility be better? Yes, that's sarcasm. P.S. Oh yeah Tom. Shiver me timbers, talk like a pirate day was like so last Wednesday, arg. -----Original Message----- From: isapros-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:isapros-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Thomas W Shinder Sent: Tuesday, September 25, 2007 12:56 PM To: isapros@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [isapros] Re: ..and the noise increases...
