The only reason that the media is style hyping about this is because steve gibson is wailing like a little bitch about things like: Raw sockets, and "Logaritmic Axis Graphs".
Gimme a break.
Stevie boy is very insane, but he generates hype, which generates headlines, which makes the media look good. So wake up you government and corperate morons. The world will not come to an end. And steve gibson is not the prophet of the internet world.
Everyone knows that you shouldn't let anybody run a WinNT server at all. There is really no practical reason. The IIS server is run as root to the Windoze machine, so any file access that would have been restricted in unix by running Apache as Nobody is now gone and I can have, perhaps, write access to your boot.ini by just hacking in a.bat file through a ftp bug, then connecting to the address with the.bat file so it executes server side. And it takes even more power. So if anybody can think of a good reason for using IIS, WinNT, MS SQL, or anything like that, by all means say it so I can laugh in your face.
