I dont know if any of you have seen this but I think its funny as hell.  Apparently ucsb banned nt & 2000 because they found out their a pile of shit.

this is good and bad.  Notice that the focus was on upgrading to XP.  It almost sounded like they were doing the M$ force-users-to-upgrade-by-denying-a-service tactic for M$.  kinda makes me wonder....

at least they did mention linux and the like.

Notice how they said that XP had less vunerabilities by default because it's not a server OS? What if W9X is similar, less vunerabilities by default?

well i replied to the discussion topic at the extremetech one, and i gave them the url of the second one, since it has more info. Some moron told me that the url i posted was about a different incident, in fact one at Berkeley! what a mar00n! the fact that it is on the UCSBdailynexus site should have tipped him off...
