atw: Re: O.T. "Reliance on Microsoft a threat to security: experts"

Michael,
What a load of old cobblers!
The journalist only quotes the names of authors as though this is some kind of 
shibboleth. There is not one skerrick of testable data in the whole piece.
Just journalistic fop. If we were professionals we would test data before 
passing 
it off as valuable.

  As I have said many times over to this list, as consulting professionals we 
  have a duty of care to challenge the MS status quo where it creates 
  problems for ourselves and our customers.
   From the Sydney Morning Herald.
