Hi,
 
I was wondering if anyone on the list knows of any large commercial
sites/companies who are using OpenAFS/AFS in large production environments,
and if possible some case studies?
 
I'm trying to build a business case to oust M$ from our file and print
environment, and while I can demonstrate technologically why AFS is better,
the management sheep are going "Who else is using this?"  "If it was better
than M$ everyone would be using it" and other foo.
 
Any insights would be gratefully appreciated.
 
Cheers,
 
Jason
