Wow Wow Wow, why do we start fighting between each other whenever M$
is discussed, umm food for thought?

btw this time it may not be a microsoft product as i mentioned before,
they are just repackaging a product of another company(forgot its
name) that it bought sometime back.

So calm down everyone, its not microsoft after all :)

I for one, DO have experience in both Windows and Unix system administration, and everyone of our internet facing 
machines is running Linux.  Why?  Because for me they are easier to secure.  I can turn off any services that I don't 
need, I have a fully-functional firewall on every box, and I don't have to reboot once a month to stay secure(all 
updates are currently automated, only kernel vulns need a reboot).

Yes, you may be able to do most of that on a windows box, but probably not without purchasing 3rd party software.

You are giving people a hard time for bashing Microsoft, but face it: this is a security mailing list, and MS is not 
known for having a stellar history as far as security goes.   You might as well call into Air America and start 
pushing how great a person Ann Coulter is.

Wrong venue... Go vent at microsoft.public.we.love.what.billy.tells.us.to.love.
