My favorite is CMP's Network Computing. Everytime Microsoft releases a new Internet service/program, they benchmark it and expose how slow, insecure and expensive it is compared to other products. E.g., MS Proxy Server and MS Internet Security Architecture (ISA) Server. Sure enough, not a month later it is wiped from their on-line version. Although I can usually find "references" to it in other articles. ;-P Makes my life a living hell when trying to prove to people that MS Proxy and MS ISA are the two worst products you can use. -- Bryan --=20 Bryan J.
