Three on my staff are MSCE's, so it would seem doubtful.
But, anything's possible. It depends on what you classify as
a _real_ proxy server. M$ is NOT, by definition, a _real_ proxy
server. It does not support the RFC in regards to upstream
shared proxy(s), among other things.
It's really an issue of using the best tool for the job. Sure,
you can use a pipe wrench to smack in a nail, but wouldn't
a hammer work better? :)
Our system uses a mix of un*x and NT machines, using the strengths
and avoiding the weaknesses of both platforms. For anyone to blindly
stumble ahead following Mr. Gates is both mistaken and very, very
short-sighted.
Just my two cents.
