"Customers have asked me for an analysis on Linux," Taylor said in the statement. "While we had done some research in our Linux and open-source lab, there's not yet any substantial, fact-based research out there on Linux to help customers make value based IT decisions."
Wow, that's strong. Some MS guys saying that the Get the facts campain is bullcrap. Did he just said that?
To secure a machine (Windows, Linux, a toaster) you need to know everything about it. What starts when you boot, what you really need, deactivate or dont install what you dont, etc.
So you are telling me that you can know in one week what every line of configuration file is doing in Linux? Forget it. You can't become a security expert in one week, but you can make a one year plan to learn.
This may be a little hard comment, but do 100% of Windows 2000 servers really need the plug and play service to be running? Mabe 1% really need it. For the others, just deactivate it and future bugs and holes wont touch you. I think it is a pretty good practice to deactivate everything that you dont need!
Don't beleive me? I only work in a computer security company, what do I know?;)

You need to bribe ICANN to get the domain you want :) That way, they are stable.
I am sure this was ment to be
In BIG letters : Microsoft is better, bigger, stronger, more secure 100% of the time.
In small letters : This survey was paid by Microsoft, Gates and Ballmer edited the results so it could fit in this report and your screen.
Also in the news, Santa Claus is retiring.
No it's not. It's just went to light speed. (away that is)

At that price, I'll prefer some Cisco Level 3 switch with 10/100/1000 speed anytime!!
How about this question? Would you do it now? :)
Actually, its because CNN, ABC and NYTimes got a couple of journalist spying on each other to get the news first! So they connect to other network.
But... they are running windows... pff.
Actually, the humain DNA is the only thing that can't be patented. (I think)
