Apart from being better than, for example, NT 4. On more than one occasion in my old job I ended up replacing NT servers with Linux boxes running Samba for the improved SCSI adaptor support.
Sadly their Apache and MySQL (at least the first edition - I haven't seen the new one) books undermine this. I used to buy ORA books sight-unseen, comfortable in the knowledge that they'd be good. These days I've learned to check them out first and compare them to any Wrox or New Riders books on the same subject.
People using the default password managment script that comes with IIS. I know this is a bad idea for any number of reasons (even Microsoft say this), but I can think of at least one production web server in my Fortune 500 company that uses it.
Time to break out the clue stick again. Maybe the beating will take this time.
This reminds me of a revelation I had a few years ago, after getting my first CD-ROM drive. I'd manage to misplace a CD containing a multimedia encyclopedia and eventually found it sitting on the floor under my desk. I realised then that never before in human history had it been possible to lose an entire 28 volume encyclopedia by dropping it behind a piece of furniture. Now that's what I call progress!

Oh, and there's some more disturbing stuff than that out there as well.

I wonder how Microsoft feels not being able to get rid of Linux without destroying the BIOS.
Luckily for Microsoft their home-user operating systems come with support for the CIH virus - automated, self-replicating Linux removal on the hoof.

All the real email virus threats share a few distinguishing characteristics:

So real email virus threats are usually transmitted by email? I'm glad we cleared that up!
It's probably sitting in the boot of a former KPNQwest's employee's car.
BillG wouldn't walk across the street to piss on the money this judgement might cost him.
Huh? That would be one weird fetish. "Look! A pile of money on the other side of this thoroughfare! I feel the strange compulsion to urinate on it."
While I wouldn't cross the street to piss on it either, I certainly would to pick it up. Even if Bill Gates had pissed on it first.

Somebody explain to me why it takes 1187 pages to say "this case can go on" and why it takes this long to figure out a punishment.
Because lawyers bill by the hour? Just a wild guess.
Except for the occasional railway station.
Unless of course you loo[sic]se it.
