Start watching BugTrack/SecurityFocus and mail any/all of the security advisories to the senior management that will be making the decisions. To be fair you should also report the security issues with your current set-up and the associated fixes. Force the management see the security issues and the time differences between fixes from *nix vendors/open source developers and Micro$oft.

I saw a program on PBS about solar panels, they are making photovoltaic (sp?) roofing shingles. (Only available in Japan at the time I saw the program.) They are supposed to last 100 years, the only problem is the $150,000+ that it will cost you to roof your house with them... I have my doubts that they would pay for themselves in their 100 year lifespan. (Lets see, I pay about $80/month for electricity [$150,000/$80]/12=156.25 years to ROI, and that's just the shingles, you wanna add a storage system to your house?? That could make the shingles themselves seem cheap...)
I'd only pay $40 if they were going to crash it into a major city, and even then only if they target it to hit something like say, a nuclear power plant, an elementary school, major sporting event, school for blind orphans (Preferably one run by nuns...) You know, a happy place. I do like happy events. 8-)
Can you please submit your scientific proof of any biblical events? I think a good proof of 'the flood' or the red sea being parted, or maybe that walking on water thing...
Or to sum up my basic argument against you, YOU CANNOT DISPROVE SOMETHING THAT DID NOT HAPPEN.
TO HELL WITH THE DOJ!!! Bill if you are reading/. (HAHAHAHAHA) move Microsoft offshore. I was going to rant more about how much I hate the US governments interference with the US economy and it total hypocrisy when it comes to international trade and how much the oppressors, err uh, government wont like losing all the tax dollars that MS moving offshore would cost, but why bother?

E-MAIL RUMOR COMPLETELY UNTRUE
WASHINGTON - A completely false rumor concerning the U.S. Postal Service is being circulated on Internet e-mail. As a matter of fact, the Postal Service has learned that a similar hoax occurred recently in Canada concerning Canada Post.
The e-mail message claims that a "Congressman Schnell" has introduced "Bill 602P" to allow the federal government to impose a 5-cent surcharge on each e-mail message delivered over the Internet. The money would be collected by Internet Service Providers and then turned over to the Postal Service.
No such proposed legislation exists. In fact, no "Congressman Schnell" exists.
The U.S. Postal Service has no authority to surcharge e-mail messages sent over the Internet, nor would it support such legislation.
