Who are you? You don't even provide your name. I'm frankly surprised
that Roberta gave you as detailed a reply as she did; I wouldn't have
wasted my keystrokes. Now, if you'd prefer to have a civilized debate,
instead of throwing out insults (rank amateur gibberish comes to mind),
we can talk. Otherwise, we don't have much to say to each other.

How many of these little essays are you going to publish? Who 
will decide which one[s] gets published.  Will it be the only 
one that you can reply to that you feel you can score points 
against. Who are you and what is your claim to fame?  You 
certainly showed your audience with your response 'directly to 
the authors' of "Cyberinsecurity: The Cost of Monopoly. How the 
Dominance of Microsoft Products Poses a Risk to Security."

I take it that in the healthy debate than ensued the authors of 
that little piece clarified their position to your satisfaction.

Why has your boss sent you? What ails him that he is incapable 
of posting this little "challenge" of his himself?

It appears that the "security watch" newsletter is published 
only to / by Microsoft Certified Professional Magazine Online 
why have you tried to suggest that the "JAVA publication, a 
couple for the Feds, some for education market" will be the 
audience of this as well. 

What do you mean you are not an employee? "Security Watch" is 
your column. Perhaps you do it for free in order to generate 
goodwill amongst the subscribers of your magazine, who all no 
doubt have a vested interested in everything Microsoft. Then 
with a bit of luck they'll end up buying your book[s]?

Roberta Bragg, MCSE: Security, CISSP, Security+ and contributing 
editor for MCP Magazine, runs Have Computer Will Travel Inc., an 
independent firm specializing in security, operating systems and 
databases. She's a frequent speaker and trainer for TechMentor. 
Her newest book is MCSA/MCSE Implementing and Administering 
Security in a Windows 2000 Network Exam Cram 2 (Exam Cram 70-
214) by Que Publishing. You can contact Roberta 
about "Psychologically Acceptable Security" at .

"If you believe that Security Watch is a pro-Microsoft 
publication " -- nice try. It's precisely this rank amateur 
gibberish that Microsoft employees along with its little elves 
that defines it's inability to do anything right. 

Microsoft Certified Professional Magazine Online:

<meta name="description" content="Microsoft Certified 
Professional Magazine brings you the latest independent 
information on Microsoft products and MCP certification programs 
and is relied upon by Windows, SQL Server and .NET experts 
worldwide."><meta name="keywords" content="Microsoft, MCSE, MCP, 
MCSD, MCP, MCSA, MCDBA, MCT, 2003, Windows, NT, XP, RSS, XML,  
Certification,  IT, Salary, Engineer, Windows, Internet, 
Certify, Exam, Test, Network, Office, Magazine, Computer, .NET, 
Online">

The "Security Watch" column inside the "Microsoft Certified 
Professional Magazine" catering [and relied upon mindyou]to 
Windows, SQL Server and .NET experts worldwide is not 'pro' 
[whatver that is supposed to mean] Microsoft.

Get your boss out of his Microsoft logo'd Lazy Boy recliner and 
post and run his debate here. On this mailing list. Where it can 
be debated. Not addressed in reply one time like you did before.

And he can donate his not inconsiderable sum of a grand total 
of "$50.00" to the SPCA.

Ridiculous.
