But OSS is a security risk, and MS is the source of "trustworthy computing". Right. Let's see. They have holes in RAS, holes in IIS scripting, holes in SQL server, holes in MSN messenger, holes in chat, holes in Explorer - and the week ain't done. Most of these holes were found by independent researchers - not by internal review, so having the source code apparently doesn't give the 'cracker' an advantage when chasing the MS-Holey Grail... Imric's Tips for Living Paranoia Is a Survival Trait Pessimists are never disappointed - but sometimes, if they are very lucky, they can be pleasantly surprised... Even though everyone is out to get you, it doesn't matter unless you let them win.

You should have that remark engraved somewhere! :-) Cheers, Scott.
