I'm afraid you simply don't know what you don't know and apparently aren't willing to listen to somebody who actually DOES know -- who's been there and done that. I *know* it's tempting to blame Microsoft, because they've done some truly hideous things to gain and hold market share. But the security debate isn't simple enough to be about propaganda -- It's about history, and the evolution of the PC. And, again... I can TELL you how it is, cuz I was there and I've *read* the code of the operating systems we're discussing. I'm out of this conversation, de Peter K1PGV
