You obviously do not care that these vulnerabilities were discovered by Eeye
4-6 months ago.  The nix community is far more immediate in identify and
patching vulnerabilities.  If you are confident that no one else will
discover those vulnerabilities the next time that MS waits to provide a
solution, I wish you good luck in protecting your homogenous network.  I
prefer a little heterogeneity to hedge my bets...

give me a freakin break people.... you guys complain when Microsoft doesn't
patch something, and now you're complaining when Microsoft patches
something....  I think that a lot of people just like to bash Microsoft for
any reason they can think of what's next, Microsoft bashing because they're
in Redmond, WA and you feel they should be in Texas somewhere?

   Do the world a favor and hide behind your precious little *nix machines
and *think* that you're immune to patching and security holes while the "bad
guys" happily take over your systems, one by one....

  sheesh.....sorry for the rant, but I DO feel better now :-)  I'll get off
my soapbox now
