Dave, you obviously do not know the first thing about managing servers
running Windows Operating Systems. If your machine is being "trashed" by
spyware/malware/etc-ware, and you need to re-install it every week,
perhaps you need to do two things:
1. Stop installing un-trusted junk on your server
2. Learn how to admin a Windows server/desktop, so you can fix your
stupid mistakes made in point #1 above.
Servers installed by me back when Windows 2000 first came out, are still
running with the same crusty version of Windows 2000 quite happily. This
is primarily because I don't install every piece of junk on them, and
use a UAT-esque system for testing new application deployments. This, I
would have thought, would be considered best practice - and as part of
your UAT phase, you would discover things like "oh wow this cool server
tool installs bonzi buddy as part of its package. I better not put that
on my production system".
All you have shown Dave, is ignorance.
Oh, and please do not flame me coz im 12 and uber leet lololol rofl etc
etc.
Regards,
Adam

[ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Dave, shut up. Windows
has been improving siginificantly in terms os stability and security.
The only one being significantly ignorant here is you and your linux
fan-boy-ish ass.
A) Linux distributions also have security issues
B) Linux distributions are also released with major bugs.
C) Microsoft shouldn't have to pay the bill your your lacking abbility
of maintaining a computer.
Alfred has already said that the supposed "error", was not an error but
was in fact simply a change.
Your "they can't support both" statement clearly is built on pretty much
nothing. On top of that SrcDS.exe and the Source SDK both cost you no
money what-so-ever. Valve owes you nothing.
This includes, but is not limited to; Valve doesn't owe you a bug-free
SDK.

this is a quote from the link bush gave .
At Microsoft's Tech Ed conference in Amsterdam on Wednesday, a session
was devoted to how, according to one Microsoft fan at least, the Linux
kernel is beginning to resemble, well -- Windows.
that person is a blithering idiot. the 2 os's are aimed at two very
different markets. the fact that he claims the gap in securtiy in the
two is closing is laughable. Microsoft couldn't build a secure safe,
let alone an operating system.
that whole article served only one purpose. to try and rubbish linux
to the home windows user. tbf until microsoft actually produces a
product that
A) has a security system that can be trusted
B) isn't released with major bugs in it
C) generally works with out me having to spend hundreds if not
thousands of pounds a year extra to keep my machine in a state where i
don't have to format the hard drive every week just so i know there
isn't any lingering malware/spyware hiding deep down in the os. i'll
stick to my linux box.
One of the reasons i switched was because i had had enough of ignorant
bastards such as yourself pushing windows even with all its major
flaws, trying to persuade ppl that even though it [windows] is
blatantly inadequate, it is a better product that everything else.
Once again MS has succeeded in brain washing another poor innocent. Go
back to your beloved pile of shite and keep you opinions to yourself.
Nobody like being attacked for voicing their views and doug didn't
deserve it, he made a valid point. how did you like being flamed for
being an incorrect, arrogant knob? not fun was it?

Just to give you a little more of an idea why its so difficult to
manage
and
debug such a huge project as this.
Next time do a little more research before you come looking for
cattle
to
slaughter mr. map maker.
BTW.. aren't there enough maps for this game already?
