Point 1, I agree with what all of you are saying although, I dont just blame microsoft for their shortcummings in the field of programming. I think that what their programmers have done is phenomenal considering the amoung of work it is to develop any platform of this magnitude. Although, I think that they are readily a more accessible target because of the ease and use of windows. If the true individual understood the power of linux and solaris as I or most of the admins on here, there would be hell to pay at most of the worlds routers.
Point 2, The OS that everyone is talking about is only the user end. I think that in combination with the right type of server and hardware routers and getways and firewalls, many of what you are talking about can be fixed. Any business worth the price of a good admin should at least have an admin worth telling them what type of hardware overhead they are going to need in order to run an efficient network. NETWORK INFRASTRUCTURE. First rule of the admin... Know your network. So come on here... Stop bitching and moaning about MIcCROSOFT, your the admin as am I, and THINK about a better way to secure your network. Dont just let one way be the end all be all!!!
