You mean Novell royally fucked up Netware and people went to AD at first because of that. But yes, AD was quite new then, mostly an add-on for NT domains (and still sort of is :) try going full kerberos…).


Of course nothing is going to happen, but let’s just have 5 minutes of joy for MTG and Bubu doing for once the right thing, even though they are suggested not to.


Will Muilenburg pay Boeing for this?


Of course! We therefore have 2 reasons to throw him in (and probably more).


I was going to say “what about the cybertruck” but I guess everyone wants to throw him in an oubliette for that.
Also, IBM was still big on mainframes and PCs, and OS/2 of course, and hadn’t really that much interest in Netware or Windows then (outsourcing deals aside). Apple was even way farther away from that, completely on their own OS and Appletalk, directories were not really useful for their users then.
