Why I can only use iexplorer to browse the internet?

That's not a reason, that's a spurious claim with no basis in fact. If they could say how and why it was more secure than Linux, that would be a reason. But there are two reasons why this won't happen. Because if they did come out with reasons, chances are Linux developers would fix the problems quickly, making that expensive win2k purchase look really embarrasing, and also they can't openly say any reasons why win2k is more secure, because no such reasons exist. They should go with OpenBSD if they want security.

That's not a reason either. I think you should come in early one morning and leave a severed horse's head on your system administrator's desk with a little post it note saying simply "Excuses, Excuses", do it daily and after a few days he will either give in or resign. I promise.

one thing i've always wondered about companies is why they don't put Norton Antivirus on all of the computers. Norton has a thing that scans all incoming and outgoing email for scripts/viruses/trojans. Norton has alerted me several times of a virus attachment. although i have attachments disabled in Outlook (to check hotmail), Norton still alerted me that the virus was there.
you probably can't even count the number of times one of your dumb ass co-workers gets a virus and says something stupid like "well how the hell was i supposed to know it was a virus, it said i love you on it and the attached file was named i_love_you.exe"

The thing about Norton is that you are only as safe as your last update. It's pitiful. It's the e-mail client (Lookout Express or Lookout 2002) is the problem. In my opinion, we shouldn't need a license for Norton (or any other redundant virus checker)the e-mail client and the OS should not allow scripts to run amock on the machine. Keeping the PCs clean and stable is a full time job. A bogus job at that.

the company probably switched to Windows because Microsoft always provides excellent tech support for companies. although their guys suck ass for helping the average customer, their company tech guys are very effective because MS knows most of its money comes from big companies.

Nobody could be that fucking st00pid. I guarantee you that the real reason they ditched Red for Win 2K servers is because they fell for MS's bogus claim that Win 2K is sooooooooooo easy to administer that you don't need "those geeks" (read: IT specialists who actually know what they're doing.) to administer the system. Why, just look at that purdy GUI, the point 'n' click simplicity, yada, yada, yada: do your own admin. :rolleyes:
And that's how Code Red, Klez, Nimda, Fizzer, and those other script kiddie worms spread half way around the world in a matter of hours, from one Win server to another. All "administered" by untrained dumb-asses who were "assured" by Microsoft itself that it is so easy it makes real sys-admins irrelevant. So go ahead, pink-slip all those nerds who actually know a thing or two about computers. Save a bundle!
Believe me, they're gonna get precisely what they have coming. When that happens, tell them to get a MSCE (Minesweeper Consultant, Solitaire Expert) to fix it for them. :D :D :D

Too bad microsoft don't release their ultimate secure version of IIS which they use for their own servers (the one with all the code from linux and apache in it).
