Practically every other seriouse operating system does this, even the not so seriouse ones do. Why doesn't microsoft include an SSH server by default, or a decent client. I'd be happy if they just ported the BSD versions of these tools.<br><br>Is this really just a unix user gripe? I can't imagine that Windows-culture admins relish having to install, sometimes quite old and buggy, third party support for this at every install.

There are now two different versions of the ODBC client and determining which one to use can be a pain depending on the data source. To setup a DSN for 32-bit application you must use: /WINDIR/SysWOW64/odbcad32.exe. For 64-bit application you must use: /WINDIR/System32/odbcad32.exe.<br><br>Now you've got me curious enough to run Windows 7 because I want to know if this 32-bit DSN support is carried over from the 64-bit servers and Vista.

Now you've got me curious enough to run Windows 7 because I want to know if this 32-bit DSN support is carried over from the 64-bit servers and Vista.
