Secure by Default
Tim Mullen, 2003-04-27

With Windows Server 2003, Microsoft has finally produced an operating system that isn't begging to be hacked on the first boot.

That's cute. You even have microsoft people posting here. The article starts with making excuses as to why windows is completely unsecure out of the box by talking about how ms wanted to please people by loading the most popular programs first. Oh, I hear tears falling in redmon because they feel they've been misunderstood.
Then, you try to sully another O/S by saying that "Oh, it was really hard to secure that Unix box." Oh please. No wait, coming from a ms person, I can believe that. Anything that requires command line input is beyond their click and drool O/S mind. How many more Bill Gates butt kissing articles are you going to write?
Look, we know ms isn't secure. And hey, we thank you, that's what keeps us employed. If the whole world ran on Unix boxes, the information security industry would have never come about.
