Ah token ring - the communism of the networking world ;-) Takes me
back... ;-) Have you seen the film "Hudson Hawk"? I loved Coburn's
character's comments on communism ;-) Bonus points for the trivia
question - why was his character named "George Kaplan"? (Well it is
Friday, after all...)
As to your question - I'm not sure I fully understand what you are
asking?
Are you asking why do they still include them?
If so, I'd say the original design goals for NT included this
architecture as part of the OS. So over time, people / customers may
have made use of them, and they've become expectations. Plus it's
laudable from a "aren't we making great efforts on cross-platform
functionality" type thing. Like Microsoft having their own NetWare
client - a nice claim, but perhaps a subtle encouragement away, or
perhaps an omen of the future.
I'd guess that they've had things in the NT OS onwards for so long, that
to suddenly pull the rug, in any one particular release may be
unpopular, with a minority, but vocal demograph.
I think Tim mentioned that the OS/2 subsystem was no longer present in
2003 server, though.
