Microsoft aint a security company, never said they was, they are a business company that supplies a mass marketed product that people can use.
Do you want to sue the Washing Powder companies because it doesnt get all your stains clean? Busines is Business, if we dont like, then make ya own operating system, or learn to enhance the ones that are available, instead os simply knocking whats alreayd there, but not doing much about it, normal case is people cant do anything so they knock stuff instead. I personally like Micorosft and theor products, amny of enhanced my systems and business and I also like nix* as it has ehnaced and progressed my business, both in different ways. Personally my business couldnt run without MS, not becuae of cost of change to competitor, just that some of my business needs are best suited by their products. I have an in house security tean, which I actively head (when not running my own show) as a Checkpoint Instructor, and a solid methodical approach, with skills in hardening and understanding systems, and how the business should face the internet have helped myself and my company grow. I dont know, I help, as exploits do help this, I understand C+ as I taught myself as well as the security department, its about piecing togther valuble resoureces, like anything in life. If I have my personal way I would turn the internet off, or create a private one so my business could thrive even more. Instead for now I harness and embrace what I have and think how it has helped, not knocking shit because of this and that, I see MS and Nix* to be so different yet so many people compare... Hmm... Sorry if I ranted, just perspective thats all. Regards ------------------------------------------------------------------------- FIGHT BACK AGAINST SPAM!
