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

Hi Brian

I think if you reread the original message, it was meant to represent the 
need for those that can, advise others of the shortcomings of MS. (security 
or otherwise IMHO). I did not assume MG's message had any relevance to the 
"wonderous" nature of the (MG) referred to writer's comment.

In this respect there is no need for intelligent independant analysis, as 
the problems with MS Windoze is a forne conclusion. SOOOO many crahes bear 
this out.

Regards

Peter
