If you do and understand it, you'll see that _you_ asked Ed if he can connect his eCS to an Windows Server using PPTP and all he said was that _he_ didn't care about connecting to Windows. He didn't say anything about what you, or anybody else does with their computers in regards to VPN connectivity. He has a desire to connect multiple eCS based systems regarless of what anyone else is doing.
