Now, don’t get me wrong.  I don’t hate Microsoft, but sometimes installing these things makes configuring programs in Linux look like child’s play.  Soon I will be posting about my pleasant experiences with Windows Vista, despite what has been said elsewhere on the Internet.  Yet, now I have to attempt install number 2 of Portfolio Server.
