My point was that the comments against using MSSE didn't appear to be coming from anyone who has actually used it.
If someone has used it and had a bad experience or didn't like it, then please by all means share that with the group. That is valid data that should be taken into consideration when making the decision about whether or not to use the product. And no, I'm not paid by Microsoft or any other tech company. I actually work in the space sector, and more specifically on national and international policy for space security and sustainability. Tech is simply a hobby of mine, but one I take seriously (like many on this list). --------------------------- Brian Weeden Technical Advisor Secure World Foundation <http://www.secureworldfoundation.org> +1 (514) 466-2756 Canada +1 (202) 683-8534 US On Fri, Oct 29, 2010 at 11:42 PM, DSinc <[email protected]> wrote: > Brian, > Why your point about bias?
