Looking Back At Windows Security In 2003

Posted by simoniker on from the pane-shattering-trackback dept.

thebatlab writes "Help Net Security has an interesting look at security in Windows during 2003, with various blurbs from related parties at Microsoft as well as security 'bigwigs' such as Russ Cooper. It's interesting to read the comments from external parties, as they tend to be very reasoned comments and don't simply attack away over recent 'indiscretions' and 'security lapses' Microsoft has had over the year."

    Apart from the existing sections, I wish I could filter 'Section of things slashdot repeats ad nauseum.'

    Could someone please begin implementation?

  5. Oxymoron--M$ Security by behoward · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Every time I read another story about security holes in M$ crap I feel really good about sticking with Apple during the dark days of the mid 90's. Now I have OS X, XTools, UNIX, awesome software like iTunes, and no worries whatsoever about virus or worm infections as I do not have any M$ bugware like IE or Office on my Powerbook. Of course I pay a little more for the Mac, but I consider it small change for the right to gloat. And no that is not gloats.ex! Flame away, my Mac can take the heat.
