   Adam's way more off base than that.  For the purpose of claiming that =

  This is where we have a disagreement. A directory services exploit is
  discovered, DS is only part of W2Kserver and Server2003, it is not =
part of
  XPhome, XPpro, W2kpro or Embedded NT. I STILL CONSIDER THIS A WINDOWS
  EXPLOIT. Don't you?
