Maintenance?  Is that the euphemism for rebooting the servers to clear the memory leaks?   Criminy, don't any of these high priced code jockeys know how to release resources they aren't using anymore?

I believe the section of the Windows developers manual covering this begins with the phrase "Once upon a time."

They are using some other OS for the server side software.
