Should be beaten with Ugly Club 2002-01-22

You know, I went and got this article from July 1997,

http://www.win2000mag.com/Articles/Index.cfm?ArticleID=453

If you are too lazy to read it, it basically states that reactions to Windows NT being unsecure are unfounded and not valid.


Move ahead 4+ years, and somehow security is now the Big Issue! Funny, they had been claiming Windows has been secure for years now but only now they are finally getting around to really addressing it!

They said that Windows 2000 has 40 million lines of code, throw in the MS Office suite and you have boon-doggle of bugs and exploits awaiting someone to find them. Fat chance that it will be addressed anytime soon. And I wonder if we shall have to Purchase this upgraded Operating System, forfilling MS goals in provide mediocre products so they have an excuse to charge us for their lack of quality.
