Patrice - Amazing how these things happen. A few weeks ago a report listed Microsoft products as among the worst security risks. Microsoft immediately attacked the report. Then by an amazing coincidence, an "impartial" organization releases a report stating that Microsoft's greatest competitor, the "free" people, are actually the greatest security risk.

    Somebody refresh my memory -- wasn't it the Aberdeen Group that Larry hired the private eye to get some proof that they were just shills for Microsoft, and the guy was caught dumpster diving?
