Moody never has "had a clue" anyway, so it's expected. But, even though he's a moron, he's a promanant "piece" in the media and those who are ignorant listen to him.

If he is, he is a double idiot to pick such a title, or he's really shrewd, having tongue in cheek. Look at his title - it's a paraphrasing from Julius Caesar: "... I come to bury Caesar, not praise him...". And what is in Antony's speach? Praise, disguised as blame. To such an extent, that the Romans make rebellion against Caesar's slayers. I don't know Michael Surkan or his sympathies, maybe he is not that clever, and has made the allusion unwillingly. But his arguments are thin, I think, and the Talkbacks that I've read certainly repudiate his allegations.

Michael Surkan asks what would it take to convince me to run Linux? Well can he get more than 11 IP addresses assigned to a single network card in an NT Server? No? Awwww, what a pity... Can he support multiple domains in mail? What? Need to spend HOW much to buy the enterprise version of NT? How can a 'server' which is designed (joke?) to be used on the internet not support the distribution of email? Anyone tried to run cgi scripts that your customers what to run on your server? OK, so MS are in the process of allowing shell scripts...took them a while to catch on with that though!

Then again, if the various media didn't "play ball" with Microsoft (and assorted other large corporations) they would lose lots of advertisement dollars as well as the occasional article, not to mention their reporters being ignored when asking questions at news conferences (a little something that the white house seems to have forgotten).

Never met a TRUELY defenseless animal, however I've eaten many that have been in good gravy! :) Then again, one of the more defenseless animals on the planet is that rather nasty, ill tempered, dirty one called human.

I find it interesting that he found an "expert" who doesn't know what capitalization is, punctuation or proper capitalization of "I". Also interesting is that the article states that linux is full of security holes, I guess that Microsoft products have NO security holes then by extrapolation of the information in the article. Uh, huh... Then again, what else can you expect from an author who is obviously attempting to cast an OS in a bad light at any cost. He'll find an anonymous "expert" who probably doesn't know glibc from wsock32.dll but is willing to bash a particular OS to gain some press. Of course my respect for ABC news is still as high as it was during the gulf war, where an ABC "expert" reporter was in Bagdad and didn't understand what the noise and "lights going up into the sky" was (first attack on the city by air forces and missiles)...

Yep.....any security problems in Linux get fixed ASAP, and there have been very FEW. The same can NOT be said about anything from MickySoft.
