Perhaps the problem is that the underlying infrastructure on Windows is so 
flawed. I also doubt 
Legato or any other major software developer is going to be spending a lot of 
effort developing 
new products for Windows until Windows Vista's situation is firmly established 
by Microsoft.

Honestly, if I had to administer a Legato server on Windows, my first order of 
business would be
either to replace that server with a Linux box or find another job.
