tlug: /. link don't miss it

[Jim Schweizer <schweiz@example.com>]

Hi all,

This is one of those /. links it's easy to miss - but it's a great read:

http://www.pbs.org/cringely/pulpit/pulpit19980924.html

"Microsoft made some changes to the way Windows NT
implements SMB when it released Service Pack 3
<snip>
..these changes were available on
Microsoft's support Web pages at the end of July. No more.
Checking back on September 18, the instructions were gone
along with any reference to Samba ever having existed. This has
the quality of a Hitchcock movie where someone disappears and
suddenly everyone is claiming to the hero that the person never
even existed. The Microsoft search engine found no information
when it searched for "Samba". 

Searching for the same information using other key words such
as "LanMan," "Lan Manager," "SMB," and "smbd" also yielded
nothing. The knowledge base also allows a user to specify a
particular article number for retrieval. The article we want is
Q166730, which is suddenly no longer in the knowledge base." 

Why am I not suprised!?

Regards,

Jim S.
