Not to take away from the story, but the thought that only one person noticed is likely wrong. Only one person understood the problem AND made it through the gauntlet of reporting the issue.<p>Just something that always seems glaring when people discuss things like support volume.

On the one hand I feel bad that my first thought upon loading that page was &quot;oooh, an FJ-40 Landcruiser.&quot; On the other, it just brought back memories of pulling out my hair getting custom marshalling to work over an authenticated DCOM connection.<p>Definitely not fun times remembered :-(

Fun story. DCOM was so cool back in the day.
