Is it really hard to install a firewall, anti virus, update, and shut down services you don't need? And then not using IE? Maybe you'd like a demo? I'm willing to bet my friend's XP machine, running a Web server, could take anything you could throw at it. On Friday 10 September 2004 05:08, peter Nikolic wrote:

Windows XP is secure if you actually know what you're doing. A friend of mine recently held a contest on antionline.com and not one person was able to break in.
People who say bad things about XP in the reliability/security area have no idea what they are doing. XP can have months of uptime, (Record I've seen is about 100 days) and for security, well, I'm not going to go and search for the link but my friend who held the war game on his box documented everything on http://www.antionline.com
I'm not going and searching for it, it's 2 AM, and this is my second day up, and I have to get up in a few hours.

Your comparison is unwarranted.
