give me a freakin break people.... you guys complain when Microsoft doesn't patch something, and now you're complaining when Microsoft patches something.... I think that a lot of people just like to bash Microsoft for any reason they can think of what's next, Microsoft bashing because they're in Redmond, WA and you feel they should be in Texas somewhere? Do the world a favor and hide behind your precious little *nix machines and *think* that you're immune to patching and security holes while the "bad guys" happily take over your systems, one by one.... sheesh.....sorry for the rant, but I DO feel better now :-) I'll get off my soapbox now Exibar ----- Original Message ----- From: "Edward W.

I use Linux, OpenBSD and Windows in my enterprise. Linux and OpenBSD use the "1 patch for 1 vulnerability" rule. Seems to me that MS is bunching their patches together in order to make it seem on the surface that
Windows
has less patches than other Oses, therefore it is more secure. CIOs, take note. _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it. Charter: http://lists.netsys.com/full-disclosure-charter.html
