Much Less Than An Unlimited Number

I found this funny. http://www.microsoft.com/technet/pro...3975336b3.mspx

There you will read: "By default, an SMTP virtual server can accept virtually an unlimited number of incoming network connections (although the actual physical limit is much less than this)."

Huh? What number is much less than virtually unlimited? That is like saying: "I'll give you much less than an infinite amount of money."

Turns out that "much less than unlimited" used to be 2000, but now is the default of 5000.

Ah, Microsoft, I use your products but you can be pretty stupid sometimes.

Its AMAZING to me how big their support area has gotten. I think sometimes the guys do things fast and forget to go back and double check so mistakes like this come up :)

isn't that something like more than a little, but less than a lot

"... there will be X number of connections accepted, where X is an integer greater than zero, but less than infinity."
