oh yes, i do agree with the 'cleaning as you go' attitude, but there's something else you fail to mention. ever notice that the more apps you install in any version of windows, the slower and clunkier it gets? no problem you say? just uninstall the app, remove leftover files and delete registry entries? sure, defrag the hard drive while you're at it, hmm?
yes, then how come after doing all that, it still seems slower and clunkier than before? i have some friends that reinstall windows, drivers and favorite apps every 3 months (isn't ghost great?)
after looking at the screen shots, i can say i would have easily purchased this in the 80's when the game 'Adventure' felt like the walls were closing in.
i disagree with you on your entire post. sure, people cry about their boxes being hacked, so let's re-enforce the saying, 'A system is only as good as its administrator'. these people crying are poor sysadmins. NT doesn't have the flexibility that linux and BSD has. NT doesn't give you the ability to tweak your security as tight as you possibly can.. with NT, your only option is to completely kill the offending service if no other security options are available. if you think your winblows machine is 'secure' by disabling the 'Share Files' box, then you're really misinformed (and then i ask myself, why am i wasting my time responding to this post in the first place?!?)

i don't think SCO will get off the pot.
...i just think they'll produce some shit instead.

it DOES come with good options for firewalling and masquerading. ipchains has brilliant options!
