Uh... doesn't this represent one MAJOR security problem for windows? Think about it the NSA is laying down it's report on all of it's W2k security concerns on the Internet. And the only major news service to link to it is Slashdot....
This means your average NT administrator (who thinks that nerd news doesn't matter to him), will never know about this documentation. Which means basically that this is the NSA's recommendations to hackers as to W2k's soft points. (not that anyone needed that much help)
I've been told by a LinuxPPC friend of mine that you can run Mac applications natively on LinuxPPC (I'm not sure how true this is, I don't use Macs too often).
If this is the case it should be trivial to translate Mac applications (since most major applications are already translated regularly to the Mac platform) to x86 architecture and then run them in Linux x86.
This would result in a huge wealth of user applications being available to the Linux Desktop (the reports of who's demise have been greatly exaggerated).
Just a thought, of course I could be totally misinformed.
