People,

Can I make a small request - if you're going to refer to other stuff (eg
bugtraq posts or NSA documents) would you please include a solid reference
or some sort of link?

I'd be interested in dragging this discussion out a bit more. Does anyone
have evidence that's not just MS-bashing to suggest that ISA is unsuitable
as a competitor to the well-known Enterprise Firewalls? 

Cheers,
