Quote via ZDNET: "Gartner's recommendations ignore the fact that security is an industry-wide challenge, and serious vulnerabilities have been found in all server products and platforms," said Jim Desler, a Microsoft official. "IIS is as secure as our competitors' products, and what differentiates Microsoft is our industry-leading response process." Run this thru the SethSpeak translation software (tm) and you get: "Those bastards at Gartner are morons (unless they agree with us), and besides, everyone has CodeRed level problems, don't they?", said Jim, PR flack and spinmaster for M$. "IIS would be more secure if we could steal some of that good GPL code, we are using as much BSD code as we can, and what really matters is people like me who respond to the problems with as much PR spin as possible." Ok, maybe he didn't exactly say that, but you know he was thinking it.
