I'll ignor all the Netcraft stats because they are not
relevant. I'll say it again. SUNW isn't worried about
M$FT, and doesn't need to be worried. W2K is a piece
of 32-bit junk.

As for the "security" settings on Windows, don't make
me laugh. The file system is no more secure than CPM
was. The end user's data is wide open and even more
accessible if they use IE because M$FT was stupid
enough to put it right into the O/S, an obvious security
breech.

However, the more important point I'm going to make to
you is this: with the pending release of all sorts of
internet appliances, customers aren't going to be
interested in M$FT's latest fall-back excuse for security.
Thin clients are more secure BY DEFINITION, so they
will become the internet-device-of-choice. All the
configuration options that M$FT engineers can come up
with won't amount to a drop in the bucket compared to
thin clients and the price-reliability-security they
provide.
