This was my favorite quote: (emphasis mine)
"Microsoft's director of marketing, Oliver Roll, insists that companies are
choosing Windows because it offers *lower cost*, higher choice and greater
skills in the marketplace. Commenting on Code Red, he said: 'You can't plan
for every eventuality. *We have the most secure software available in the
industry*. Is the benefit that I'm getting from choosing this software
greater than the risk that I'm taking?'"
Does anyone belive anything MS say any more?
