So......just as I've said all along; hackers will find a way into any popular system? What a surprise. :roll:
Take me across the water, cuz I need someplace to hide.

Thats complete garbage, what percentage of the M$ users use Microsoft Windows Server 2003 ??????????????????????????

Less then 5 im willing to bet. The majority use XP (Home or Pro) and behind that is probably the last of the 98SE users (which i think still outnumber the "server 2003" users.

Thats like me inventing a new os, never releasing it to anyone and conducting a test aginst a competeing os and saying o look mines not as vunerable. :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

Actually, '05, I have Windows 2k Professional on my computer.

This is pretty ghey, though. The thing with Open Source is that you can fix a problem when you've found it. But, somewhere I read (on a sheet of paper printed from a website that tracks holes in major operating systems), I think that Linux is less secure than Windows, and the MAC OS is much more secure than any, even BSD.
