Feb. 14, 2004 |
Announcement |
Rumor of PMS demise had been "greatly
exaggerated." Actually, we decided to reverse
our previous decision. The gap between what is
achievable w/ PMS and the cost of an entry-level
SBS server hardware + N.O.S. + CALs is
still very significant. To serve that niche, we
commenced development of an NT-based version. |
Jan. 15, 2004 |
Announcement |
PMS development to cease, and focus on LAMM,
due to recent developments:
the advent of inexpensive server hardware,
and newly dropped SBS prices.
a recent security patch in W2K and XP caused
hanging in SMB code when accessing 98-based
servers. Microsoft does not intend to fix that,
citing EOL status, and therefore it's an
insurmountable problem for PMS.
