>I guess that you have cross Microsoft from your list of software providers

Personally, I crossed them off in 1997 when I went with a Linux desktop.

But this is worse than just exaggerating the capabilities of the software. If you download the software and follow the configuration instructions, it will not run. Not at all. Totally non-functional. Zero ability to do work of any kind.

With help from the mailing list and with massive time lost poking around, I managed to get it to limp a bit, but it wasn't even working enough to test. This is not a case of the usual commercial fluff and bravado; this is trying to pass off a pre-alpha software kit as "enterprise ready." And that's a practice which must end ASAP.
