The Reality of Perception
Tim Mullen, 2003-04-07

A new poll finds that seventy-seven percent of security professionals believe Microsoft products are insecure. But a closer look at the survey tells a far more interesting story.

I think The Register is what tim referred to as a rag. Anyone with a pulse and who can read knows that The Register is a horribly biased trash bin. They will jump all over even the slightest issue regarding MS whether it is really true or not, yet ignore the many horrible problems that continue to arise in Nix.

If you really think that service packs break more than they fix, then you don't know what you are doing. I have had FAR more issues rebuilding my kernel on Linux with driver incompatability (if they have the damn driver at all) than any issues on our production boxes of Windows.

This is a typical ploy for lazy, stupid administrators to use- blame it all on MS or say "I don't trust the patch" or whatever else they have to do in order to sit around and pretend that they know what they are doing. Learn how to do your job and keep the MS bashing to yourself.
