Microsoft Trojan Horse Part Duex: System Center Operations Manager 2007 Cross Platform Extensions and Connectors http://www.oreillynet.com/onlamp/blog/2008/04/microsoft_troj...

Quoting: We have active bot nets that rivel NASA in pure computing power due to boneheaded Operating System design, yet Corporate America should have Microsoft manage Unix and Linux. Ha, ha, ha, I am rolling on the floor laughing.

Let's see...your MS server gets pwned. The exploit eploits the cross platform management stuff and hoses your mysql db and messes up your *nix servers...MS claims it's all because *nix is so insecure.

Woops, the forum ate my post....

I REFUSE to support Windows professionally.

Tell me to use Windows, and I might.

Tell me to fix your database that got hosed thanks to some Slammer worm? Go suck a rotten egg. You can't afford what my psychotherapist would charge to fix the mental damage from that.
