No, seriously... you do much better when you're not pimping Microsoft stuff :)

As for the subject at hand, yep: I agree perfectly. OTOH, this was the same problem when it came to damned near every other "hot' subject since the dawn of computing time.

Name the big, hot IT-like subject, and suddenly everyone and their dog is an expert in it, all with conflicts over what's the most important part of it.

Of course, most folks have their own agendae... A/V makers will scream the loudest over viruses, programmers scream the loudest over buffer overflows, etc etc.

(shrug) - I don't expect any of it to change anytime soon...
