<snip> Probably the windows machines lying on the network are already shutting down to apply hourly security fixes. This argument about "integration" with MS code is leading OpenBSD to nowhere, IMO. I like pf, I like the developers decision for "correctness", and I like the way engineers and coders created and enhanced UNIX. Why to mess something that's working properly for 20+ years for the sake of integration? If MS had a minimal interest on integration, they should have read implemented POSIX in a useful manner on their OS at least one decade ago. Now, all I can say is MS can keep its code for itself. My choice is clear.
