I think it is really strong to call AD an NDS rip-off.  NDS was hardly
the first directory-enabled system, and was built of top of LDAP which
was derived from X.500.  This was simply the next natural evolutionary
step for the domain model; as naturally as Kerberos/LDAP is replacing
NIS which replaced pushed flat files.

Every OS release exists to fix the problems of its predecessor.
