IBM manufactures AFS since bought it along with some other company (transarc?)

AFS and Distributed computing concepts was introduced long before Windows 2000 (-:

Free implementation of AFS/XFS is called ARLA

Hello,

sorry the poor guy is from windows world and microsoft wants everyone to think they come up with everything the first.
But they are the last one.

then search for DFS.

If you have a problem then call microsoft they will help you with DFS. just shutdown and reboot the system.

Not always - sometimes you need to use correct configuration wizard and check correct checkboxes in third step

All bad, but my least favorite is...

How does anyone get any work done like that?
