Not sure.  It seems to have to do with the .net infrastructure, I asume
that involves authentiation software and such.  I don't see any reason
inherently why that can't exist in a mixed Free Software environment.
But it might not...I just don't care enough about MS products to really
know.

You must be a stupid engineer then, because politcs and technology have been attached at the hip since the 1st dynasty in Ancient Egypt.  I guess you missed that one."
