I was about 1/2 through converting my second machine, and the team was about the same. Then WINS began to crack under its own weight. See, over the years, our WINS servers have been picking up alot - alot - of static entries. Apparently, anytime something wasn't working correctly, someone in the department would call Microsoft, who would recommend yet another static entry. And the changes we were making were apparently the last straw for this brittle, God forsaken piece of "technology". And once it started buckling, the resulting crash was unavoidable.
