  14. : 
  15. : That's not Microsoft's fault: the C2 certification applies to a standalone
  16. : system. As soon as you connect it to a network, you can no longer call it
  17. : a C2 system. This applies to Solaris, MVS, VMS, etc. as well.
  18.  
  19. (Nod) Nobody else really makes a big deal about it though.  I've got a stack
  20. of Microsoft press releases here that tout C2 certification as a competitve
  21. advantage of the Windows NT Advanced Server package, even though using the
  22. software in its intended role promptly renders the certification moot.  Of 
  23. course, the sheep simply lap it up and regurgitate it to anyone around. 
  24. Heck, most of them don't even understand what half the bullet-items on the
  25. back of the box mean... :\
