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.

blah blah blah... are you done?

Ok, here I go...

Again, another completely false and ridicules post from the Peon. Do a quick search on google... do you know how to do that? Here, let me do it for you: http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=linux+
patch+breaks&meta=

Hmm... sorry, were you saying that Linux patches don't break things?

I think somewhere in your arguments you pointed out that you wanted facts, not just my opinion, so here is another link about the webdav patch:

http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/55/29857.html

"A patch for a serious flaw in Windows 2000, which prompted a major Microsoft alert earlier this week, is causing problems for a small percentage of users."

"He estimates that fewer than one in 100 users applying the patch will experience the problem"

Hey, if you can't trust your own TheRegister garbage, who can you trust, hmm? Must be a Microsoft conspiracy.

Would you care to reply so I can put down some more of your irrelevant statements? Or perhaps you should just bow out gracefully. Another question, if you hate MS so much, and dislike Tim so much, why do you bother reading his columns?

Why are ANY of you reading his columns? We don't go on the UNIX column and start bashing it to hell, and if we do its simply to defend ourselves against the whords of 9 year olds who think they are elite. We respect the fact that you people like to stick together... and talk amongst each other, after all, it is a *UNIX* article. Its so funny how you guys just jump on everything Microsoft and tear it apart no matter how inexperienced you are, or how dumb your comments make you look. We "security professionals" have a saying for this, its called Fear, Uncertainty, and doubt.
