Personally I find that quite offensive. I have been programming Windows
since v2.0 and have used SSPI on a number of occasions for Security Contexts
but not actually used SChannel. I might have read about it and glossed over
it but as a software engineer and power user I wasn't aware of its usage
fully until Marc's work.

I have stated time and time again that the literal should include SSPI
because, as I understand it, and please correct me if I am wrong and point
me to the MSDN documentation but SSPI is the interface to all the services
that it provides.

Kind Regards

Steve
