But wait until Windows NT 5.0 and our managers will admit Windows boxes as
Firewalls, too. Firewall vendors like Checkpoint with their FW-1 do all to
make their customers belief Windows can be used as a serious security
platform.... It was hard to convince the company I work for to buy a Solaris
box for FW-1 and not to use Windows for the firewall, because vendor brochures
look too nice :-(
