Microsoft Apologist Apologizes for Microsoft
hillbilly1980 writes "Internet Week has published a counter article in response to the number of anti-monoculture security papers recently published. Unfortunately the author starts out by writing off the other papers as simply anti-Microsoft, unfortunate because his paper never gets past being more then just pro-Microsoft. One of his suggestions to secure your enterprise... turn off port 80." Probably the best thing to do to prevent disinformation from entering your company is to block articles by Rob Enderle. Update: 10/11 00:54 GMT by M : Note for the record that the original version of the article referred to blocking port 80; the article has now been edited to refer to port 135.

That's nothing. To be *really* secure I just don't even turn my computer on!
Yeah lets all turn off port 80; its like having e-business without the "e"!

The last time one of Rob Enderle's stories hit Slashdot, I went and did some googling around. An hour later, I had absolutely no evidence that the set of analysts comprising the Enderle group was any larger than the set composing Rob Enderle himself.
He probably has a stuffed penguin as a technical advisor, and I'd also bet that his technical advisor frequently gets pins stuck in him.
