This is a worksation product.
(I guess I'm going to have to use more specificity in my posts. I *thought* people in this group would understand some basics, but such is apparently not the case.) You misunderstand my use of the word "server". I'm not referring to a big expensive box with multiple processors, lots of memory and RAID arrays. A server is the complement of a client. And I'm hard pressed to think of a modern OS that isn't a server but simply and only a workstation. Even those who use Windows at home are sharing files, which is a server/client process. But, back to your original complaint, which was that remote services should not be available until you login to the console.....I'm willing to bet that *many* people who use *nix as a workstation, *even at home*, allow *at least* ssh sessions remotely. And there are KaZaA lovers worldwide who are offering remote access to files, on numerous Oses, even when they're not at home and logged in. So, how does you complaint about Windows offering remote services without login not apply to *nix (and other OS for that matter) as well?
