Can anyone dispute these claims:

Microsoft Windows 2000 DNS vs. Bind 8.2

1. MS claims they support for secure dynamic update based on the
gss-tsig algorithm and bind does not.

2. bind does not support wins and wins-r records

3. bind does not support utf-8 character encoding.


These are the claims.  Now I realize that thier comparison is
with bind 8.2 and not 8.2.2p5.  The question is are the statements true
for 8.2 and are they true for 8.2.2p5.

My gut instinct says that at least for 8.2.2p5 they are not true.

Here's the url reference (not you have to be running IE to see
this page becuase MS has a javascript difference):
