Is NSFv4 Dead?

The annual Storage Developers Conference is kind of
like a five-ring circus. There are way too many tracks to follow,
all going on at once and all interesting to varying degrees to
varying people. It was a big show again this year, but this year it
didn’t matter what else was going on. The center of attention was
Microsoft’s center-ring act: SMB2.2.

I have been going to the SNIA SDC every year since before it was
the SDC. I started going in 1997, when it was still The CIFS
Conference. Even before that, I went to lots of different computer
conferences and shows. Remember DECUS and DEXPO? Amiga DevCon?
LISA-NT? I do.
