That is certainly part of it, but DCE costing approximately 10 times
AFS (for less platforms!) wasn't exactly a great selling point either.
And now AFS is free (and of course, Kerberos 5 has always been free).
I know that you can download the DCE sources from The Open Group ftp
site, but speaking as someone who did that and actually tried to get it
working, the sources on that site are NOT useful.
