I wouldn't run MS anything on the web.

Yep, got that emailed to me from Microsoft now that I finally found my way to their listserver.

Now in defense of Microsoft, at these they are *supporting* the hot fixes.  In the past, they haven't.

And for those Linux folks out there, I've had more intrusions/hacks and patching on that OS than NT.  I wish I knew of an OS (asides Commodore 64s?) that weren't such easy targets to hackers.  Linux, Windows NT and all of those have their weaknesses.
