the ultimate security of the system is the end user (or the admin.).
As for the M$ bashing.. no bloody operating system is perfect.. if we had no windows and M$ to bash.. it would be Red Hat vs SuSe Vs BSD vs Mandrake Vs OSX.. childeren will be childeren.. "mine is bigger than Yours"

Linux strength is currently it's potential weakness.. (pleas note potential in that statement..) it is the volinteer coders and organisers.. out side that.. I play with win and 3 skins of linux love the journey..

And back to the original post.. very interesting.. but true experimenters being as they are.. holes will be found..

cheers
