Re: [ros-dev] 4th scenario

Server 2oo3 might not be used in big corporations anymore,
but I think it's not uncommon to keep running it in small companies
and home servers (due to high licensing cost of Windows server versions).

Anyway.. IMO there's nothing wrong in moving towards NT6x API-wise,
as long as we're not forced to re-architect the *core* of the system
(scheduler, et c).  Paging the kernel would be a big mistake.

No one is suggesting paging the kernel. Stop being paranoid about that. We
are speaking about API interfaces for user apps and drivers. Whatever that
implies, will be examined on a case by case basis.  ;P

It /is/ pretty uncommon.
I'm in contact with IT administrators from many small companies, at this 
point everyone has either (a) moved to Linux, (b) moved to some kind of 
cloud service or (c) upgraded to Server 2012.
Even my school, which struggles to repaint walls, has done (c), lol.
I don't know if it is any different in other parts of the world, but I 
suspect it is pretty much the same.

Best regards,

"Small companies and home servers" would often just be retail desktop
machines using home/pro editions (XP) instead of server editions.
