sad try, as usual

"power outage was blamed on power swings due to a server that froze in ohio, it was an m$ server. do a google search"

I did. Simply not true. It was caused by a major transmission line failing. Would you like to post your link or simply continue to insist you are right?

"the FLAWS in windows ALLOWS crackers to write VIRII that will exploit the FLAW. what don't you understand?"

You listed a bunch of viruses and called them flaws in Windows. That was incorrect. Your statement above is simply a restatement of my correction to you. And I quote myself: "Those are viruses, not flaws. They exploit flaws. MS is to blame for the flaws; the miscreants who wrote the viruses are to blame for them."

"better grammar? please elaborate"

Do you actually READ your posts? I don't think anyone else here had questions about what I meant...

"many companies hire outside on contract where they charge by the hour, not by the week. and m$ issues cost alot of money!"

Contracts such as this are written to put the onus of responsibility on the contracted company, giving the contracting company an out if the contractor consistently fails. So, any company who failed to protect their clients up front and kept getting called out to resolve issues is (1) failing at their job and (2) likely to be soon out of a job.

"i'm probably older than you and have more experience"

Provably untrue, based on your posts. Adults and IT executives don't walk around calling other people names or doing that cutesy little thing with the letter S. You would have to be pretty old to be older than me, to have more experience than I do, or to be in a higher position than I am, and you would never have gotten there based on your treatment of others, evidenced on this board.

"depending on only ONE solution is asking for trouble"

I agree with you 100%. Which is why I DON'T do that. But I thought you were a Linux-only guy? Wouldn't that invalidate your statement?

"obviously you never touched a *nix box
are a PowerMac"

I "are" a PowerMac? You were asking about your grammar? I own, use, admin, and manage admins and programmers for all three. We manage to keep our company secure (0 security issues--ever--even in the old MS-only days) and I know plenty of other people in my position who have kept their companies in the same position. Luck? Perhaps. Good admins? More likely.
