Tim Mullen, 2002-12-02

Microsoft's security policies are getting better every day, even as a new report slams open-source competitors as security nightmares. But the easy answers aren't always the right ones.

What do you mean, "marketing". No, I evaluate and make my decision on wether I trust a product or not from my evaluation. What is with you guys and all of you're marketing issues, how else is MS going to convince people like you that their products are secure? You will never try new versions or make evaluations for yourself - YOU just read the "marketing" and brush it off.

What do you think, I am hired by MS to market their product? (well, you probably do, because you are paranoid). You think I visit microsoft.com/marketing everyday and say "Wow, that's cool!" and go pretend that I know everything about it?

Besides, EVEN if I did base everything off of their marketing, are you saying that all of these imporvments simply don't exisit, that they are all lies? .NET Server, W2K, XP - these are all the same as previous windows versions? Nothing new? Let me ask you, if you refuse to use the new products, how is it that you can claim that everything MS says is "marketing and lies".

Let me ask you, what is it exactly that you do for a living? Don't give me some "I'm a linux administrator for 10,000 users!" bs either because I know better. You're profile fits a 14 year old repressed (and broke) school kid living at mommy's house.
