Well, I guess we know what we've gotta be compatible with now..

Subject: MS Press Release - Common Internet File System (CIFS)

Does this entire subject make anyone else ill?

yes, Sun :-)

Makes me ill. I know it doesn't support anything but connection-based authentication tokens, doesn't support sliding window (even fixed window, as in Novell's NCP "packetburst" beats the hell out of it), and will in general turn the whole net into a transport for single packet request/response.

Obviously, they needed some way to download their ActiveX controls without dumping them on your machine, and this is it.
