OSX mature you say ? are you on marketing drugs ?

2: the ability to create groups of users on the client version ? (was possible in OS9)
3: to be honest merge server and client versions, so that any version can work as a server, least that way I have access to the feature set I may need on any machine.
3b : Make it possible to logon onto different volumes with different permisions on the same machine, with different logins to that machine for each volume ? At he moment you only seems to be able to use one login to one machine ? third party apps can probably resolve this ?
