Hetrogeneous problems (the obligatory anti-Microsoft whine :-)
- All IT departments have to deal with integrating Windows systems with other Operating Systems and network platforms.
- The Windows family of Operating Systems is designed to be compatible only with itself.
- Uses different user and group models.
- Uses different authentication and security methods.
- Uses proprietary file and printer sharing protocols.
- Uses a proprietary directory service (less so with AD).
- Windows hides the API's needed to replace these models on a client.
