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