Hmm... XP's secure... that is...If you don't mind appling patches every week.
Oh...and that's why MS uses checkpoint. And SUN boxes for there web servers. Who would have ever thought. Install XP's builtin firewall, then give us the IP address, we'll test it for you... along w/ about 1000 of my other friends. New Reporter "How do you rate the security on this OS?" Billy "XP, has less bugs and security holes than the previous verisions of windows..." Billy "...it's even more stable than before... XP averages 3 minutes of up time, unlike 2 minutes than previous verisions." News reporter "I'm told XP has a built in firewall that's able to secure networks from hackers, how secure is it?" Billy "XP's firewall is very secure." News reporter "Our soucres tells us that XP allows broadcast messages, is this a potenial security risk?" Billy "We don't see the harm in allowing broadcasts through XP's firewall" News reporter "I have one last question, seeing that XP's firewall is secure, would you mind commenting on which firewall product MS is currently running?" Billy "No comment." ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul Robertson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Dan McGinn-Combs" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, January 16, 2002 4:35 PM Subject: RE: Question > On Wed, 16 Jan 2002, Dan McGinn-Combs wrote: > > > stop! don't move! don't spend! > > XP has a built in firewall!!! > > check it out! > > Dan > > Which doesn't filter broadcasts if I recall correctly... > > Paul > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- --- > Paul D.
