You obviously do not care that these vulnerabilities were discovered by Eeye 4-6 months ago. The nix community is far more immediate in identify and patching vulnerabilities. If you are confident that no one else will discover those vulnerabilities the next time that MS waits to provide a solution, I wish you good luck in protecting your homogenous network. I prefer a little heterogeneity to hedge my bets...

I think that a lot of people just like to bash Microsoft for any reason they can think of what's next, Microsoft bashing because they're in Redmond, WA and you feel they should be in Texas somewhere? Do the world a favor and hide behind your precious little *nix machines and *think* that you're immune to patching and security holes while the "bad guys" happily take over your systems, one by one.... sheesh.....sorry for the rant, but I DO feel better now :-) I'll get off my soapbox now Exibar ----- Original Message ----- From: "Edward W.
