I'm not sure if it is the fact that a representative of MS talked about this issue, but I do think there is some bias because of it. Would the reactions have been less ardent had this article quoted a rep of Sun or Apache.....? I do feel there is room for a protocol (or protocol enhancement)that will allow both sides to be server and client. Perhaps, instead of the request, wait, send, wait,listen, wait,request,....cycle for sending and receiving information, one could send information as a server to another machine with a 'request needed bit' somewhere in the header which would then turn the server into a client, and the client into a server. This would be helpful for WANs (especially for large companies or friendly companies) that send and recieve huge amounts of information across a network. I havent thought it completely through, but there are possibilities. This would eliminate the need to send a request for infor after sending info... Aaron
