Oh PLEASE!!!!!!!! The whole freaking thing is totally BOGUS and nothing but another load of cheap marketing bullshit!!!!

Read all the hype in page 1 of the pdf about how it is a SQL Server 2000 solution using Windows AS 2000, yadda yadda, crap crap. Then on page 2 they claim the thing was installed and running on SAP as early as August 1995.

Since WHEN were Windows AS 2000 and SQL Server 2000 AVAILALE in August 1995?

I mean: Hellllooooooooooooooooooooooooo?????????????????????

Anybody home at Microsoft bullshit central????
