Re: Windows Server 2003 - Not secure from my test but OSX from Mac is secure from the start

["Robert Reidenbach" <pominciss () greendot com ph>]

The Newer versions of IBM Desktops have this fingerprint device to
authenticate
access to the PC but anybody with physical access may easily reset the BIOS
setting,
or install a cdrom or floppy drive to get full-access.

The Worst thing that could happen is somebody getting the Hard Disk Drive
and
install it on another PC to copy or change anything written on it, then
putting it
back without anybody noticing it.

There is just too many risks so your most valuable data must be locked up in
a room
or cabinet somewhere.

just my 2 cents worth:)
