It's a nice summary of a lot of the security concerned running around right now concerning the Dark Force of Redmond. Even funnier is the outrage from mostly anonymous defenders of M$ who last seem to have looked at Linux way back at RH 1.0. Let's see now, hard to use, never upgraded (not there's a good giggle), too difficult for users, not business friendly because it wants to be secure out of the box...... Oh well, one can always expect the trolls to come up from the muck under the bridge they're hiding under when these things raise their ugly heads :) ttfn John
