RE: [Full-Disclosure] M$ Getting Better?

This guy is the king of trolls... His resume shows no experience with any 
flavor of unix, yet he feels compelled to come into a security ML and try to 
convice people that MS products are the most secure products around.

I for one, DO have experience in both Windows and Unix system administration, 
and everyone of our internet facing machines is running Linux.  Why?  Because 
for me they are easier to secure.  I can turn off any services that I don't 
need, I have a fully-functional firewall on every box, and I don't have to 
reboot once a month to stay secure(all updates are currently automated, only 
kernel vulns need a reboot).

Yes, you may be able to do most of that on a windows box, but probably not 
without purchasing 3rd party software.  

You are giving people a hard time for bashing Microsoft, but face it: this is a 
security mailing list, and MS is not known for having a stellar history as far 
as security goes.   You might as well call into Air America and start pushing 
how great a person Ann Coulter is.  

Wrong venue... Go vent at microsoft.public.we.love.what.billy.tells.us.to.love.
