The problem is that the people who know why the Win2k
redirector does all these things work at Microsoft.
And they're not answering any questions. We know how
the protocol works, and why the clients *shouldn't*
do these stupid things, but only Microsoft knows why
it does. They aren't telling and it seems that no one
(including the US DoJ and the EU) can make them tell
people why....
