Apples and oranges. NT is an OS intended to be secure, the Palm OS so far
is not. The advisory is kind of like announcing your car could be stolen,
taken for a joy ride, returned and you would never know valuable miles have
been stolen. If you want a theft-proof car, you would equip it that way. I
don't know anyone that considers the Palm secure without adding 3rd party
software and/or accessories. The advisories begin to take on the tone of a
sales pitch.
