Windows 2000 Gets Common Criteria Certification

Qnal writes "e-Week is reporting that Microsoft Windows 2000 has been awarded Common Criteria Certification.. Read more of the propaganda here. Basically, according to the article Any user running Windows 2000 with Service Pack 3 is running exactly the same system that was evaluated. The Common Criteria certification is an internationally recognized ISO standard established for evaluating the security of infrastructure technology products. Too bad it takes 3 Service Packs..."

It's bad enough to read all the claptrap, half-truths and 'M$' FUD in comments splattered all over almost every single Slashdot story, but for the "editors" to allow that to make it to the front page in such a crass way is really amazing.

I think most people who read Slashodt are at least half-intelligent sentient beings. Most can tell FUD from truth. When criticism of Microsoft is called for and valid, fine. But this sort of thing is starting to get tiresome: bashing the Evil Empire for the sake of bashing. No more, no less. And on the fucking front page, with the tacit approval and blessing of the "editors".

A "news organization", if nothing else, has to maintain a modicum of impartiality. At the very least, please keep the garbage in the comments where it belongs, right next to the goatse and fecal trolls.

And I'll repeat something I read here once: The twig can only bend so much before breaking. Keep this up and Slashdot will be reduced to nothing more than a quivering hysterical mass of negative trolls whose only purpose in life is to attack someone else instead of celebrating what's good about the culture that spawned it.
