I doubt if MS is deliberately trying to get rid of TCP/IP at this point in time. They did try to build their own proprietary network a few years ago and it failed because of the existense of the Internet. Also MS has a major problem in trying to close a network protocol around their OS and it is not technical. It is the finding they are a monopoly and monopolies have to be very careful about their business practices. Closing off generic use of TCP/IP from their OS would be seen as very anti-competitive. -- Smoot Carl-Mitchell Consultant
