So why is it, with Microsoft and all of their billeeeunnss of dollars, that they wouldn't spend at least SOME MORE of that BEFORE they release their code? OpenBSD manages a decent security review and a right mindset towards security on the annual amount of money that Bill Gates makes every time he takes a dump.
I haven't seen the Win32 source code, but I'd bet that OpenBSD is considerably easier to audit - I have a growing suspicion that Win32 is just too complex to be properly secured. A lot of recent patches have had unintended consequences or have been marked as having new functionality. -- James Riden / j.riden () massey ac nz / Systems Security Engineer Information Technology Services, Massey University, NZ.
