I haven't developed an opinion about this yet, but I imagine one could argue that that isn't necessarily a bad thing. Here's another bad analogy, ready? At the bank where I work, we can only accept deposits for accounts that we own. We don't support any accounts from other banks. ? I'm stretching just for the sake of advocating Lucifer. > I > actually think ISA server is quite well designed, Heh, and didn't Microsoft just purchase that relatively recently, like within the past five years or something? >however Outlook and > IIS are filth. Calling Outlook filth is just sad. It's such a pleasure to use. I feel bad for you. But what issues do you have with IIS? Overall, I'm pretty satisfied with it, but that isn't to say that there aren't some things I wish it supported natively, mostly a built-in method of preventing hot linking. And, if you talk smack about the FTP server in IIS, I'll be right there with you. IT SUCKS.
