Please read the following article, and tell me what you think:

http://blogs.zdnet.com/perlow/?p=11062&tag=nl.e539

I think that Jason, the writer, is way off-base, considering Apple's progress since their first actual "server release".

Who the hell knows what 10.7 will hold??? Certainly NOT Jason Perlow. Also, who releases updates of their server OS literally almost every year?....certainly not MS...so please, let's seriously look at this for a second.

Thoughts???

....he even throws in a fabricated "fact":

"However, the operating system has some shortcomings, such as a lack of support for some of the more popular media technologies of recent years, such as playing DVDs and recording CDs."

WTF!!?!?! Since when???

Unless I'm absolutely wrong about this, and high, I think he's wrong.

is that you didn't reply directly to Jason's article, at least not using the name 'maclovin'. Since TR and ZDNET have a common membership, you could have. Instead you've chosen to address his comments here, in a separate post where he can't see or respond to your positions.

Summarized, he hasn't blown it; you have.

Ah, I just didn't want to signup for another account. But, I would be HAPPY to post on there, with the same exact name.

you can log on to ZDNet using your TR credentials.

Regardless, it's good 'netiquette' to address an author's work in the forum where his content is published. If this requires creating a new account, I recommend you do so. Starting a new discussion in another forum gives the impression you want to attack the original author in a fashion he will not detect, or want to have the last word in a way the author cannot respond to.

I was close to uttering a three letter abbreviation for laughter but I will not lower myself to it... :D
