really, you know nothing of what you speak: there's nothing wrong with DCOM's security model. the blaster worm was caused by a buffer overrun - a bug in the implementation.
not all credit card companies are insured. that insurance cost YOU (and the vendors) money. if you use one of those credit cards, then you get the benifit of insurance. however, if you use an uninsured credit card then you don't. it's your decision.
sorry, but you whole post is pretty much an ignorant troll:
manage hardware or access hardware information; monitor basic system status; make changes to environmental variables; perform backups or restore files (yes, the ntbackup GUI runs even when the job is scripted); check or send email; change settings (unless your settings are in win.ini and not the registry); monitor or manage event logs; set user rights; read documentation (compiled html!); download, install or otherwise configure any program; manage Windows Update.
All of these can be done from the command line (except reading docs) and most of them can be done remotely.
do know that command-line completion is not enabled by default and requires a registry change?
it's been the default for about 4 years, where have you been?
can enlighten me which of those thousand things allows me to do something like actually manage currently installed services (past the stopping and starting part).
you must not be talking about the same outlook that I'm using (2003). i'm using cached mode right now over a VPN over possibly the suckiest internet/802.11 connection ever (my VPN has to reconnect once every few minutes) and i've never had any problems.
Desktop users are directly connected to the server, so don't need a local copy of their store. laptop/remote users can user 'cached' mode, the authoritative copy of their store is still on the server, but outlook caches an '.OST' (offline store) for use when working offline - dodgy connections are no longer a problem. You get automatic calendar sharing, POP3, IMAP, web-mail & Active Directory integration.
Backups are a breeze on the server - even microsoft's Backup.exe works fine for most simple plans. You can make Exchange hang on to deleted items for a number of days before removing them permanently from the DB.
NO business, large or small, can compete against the government.
The government is hardly innefficient. It makes money by doing absolutely nothing (except enforcing the tax code). In fact the government tends to be paid large sums of additional income by lobbying groups representing the interets of large corporations looking to get government contracts using our taxed income to fill their deep pockets.
If you don't see the cycle here: bribe the politicians, tax the people, overestimate the contracts, etc... you're missing something.

you need to get a better sysadmin, windows is perfectly capable of granting a wide range of access to users/groups.
by placing your content on the web aren't you implicitly granting a license to copy?
it's not just transparency, either - the image beneath is blurred as well. I wonder if they use a pixelshader to do that?
well, ever since the '95 UI it's stopped being a flick&click to close the window. even now it's: flick, move a couple of pixels back & click...
I don't see any performance difference over previous versions.
well, he proved that rule 110 is universal. He also discovered the smallest set of NAND/NOR axioms for boolean algebra.
you'd be surprised how much idle bandwidth there is when someone's browsing the web...
automatic updates only download stuff when the network is otherwise idle.
why didn't you just turn on the firewall and automatic updates and tell them that when their computer asks them to reboot they should do so ASAP?
the size of the moon in a photo has more to do with the size of paper you print it on than anything else.
they won't. as long as your RSS reader is using a namespace-aware XML parser.

it's built in to the vanilla msh. it ships with it. you don't have to do anything (beyond install msh) to use it. it's a default. etc...
man, you're batting a zero.

I've got one word for ya: Exchange.

nope, msvcrt.lib wraps WinMain for console apps.
int main () { WinExec ("iexplore.exe"); }
Indonesia was probably in breach of its trade agreement with the US. Microsoft probably told them to pay up or they'd push for sanctions.

in my experience, the cost of suppoorting an upgrade often outweighs the cost of the upgrade.
did anyone notice that the voice of the medic droid that told obi-wan that padme was going to have twins sounded alot like George Lucas?
