I too have had great experience with ISS. I've never done much with their desktop products but i find their Inline Proventia G to be great. As with any solution, you do have to take some time to tune the policy that you apply to it to fit your desires. However, once you have done this, it does a great job of picking up on malicious activity and can block the attacks you define in mid transit.
If only I had the 3 grand needed for one of these liquid cooled Bad boys... I'm sure it would run circles around my 867Mhz powerbook. These machines my friends, are what dreams are made of... at least for the mac geek crowd.
Wow, that whole statement was quite sad... Damn, i need a woman...
Exactly, That is the first thing that came to my mind when i read his article. He installed all of his other OSes in VPC on his WINXP install. This means that as long as windows xp can use the sound, so can the virtual machines, as VPC just emulates a simple sound card(not sure what one). Id like to see him install win95, win98, and even winME on his new hardware(directly, not in vpc) and see if it still finds all of his hardware flawlessly. From my own personal experiences, most new computer hardware such as sound cards will not work under older Microsoft OSes because the manufacturer will only write drivers for the newer OSes. They may write a driver for the old OS, but because the hardware wasnt even around when the os Shipped, there is no way it could be built in. I'm afraid the author of the article just doesnt understand how the VPC virtualization works, if he did, he never would have been able to make his claim that such hardware works flawlessly on an OS such as 95.
