I hear ya. I think I'm going slide my Solaris 8 hard drive back into my laptop.
Today at work I spent 13 hours at a banking customer's regional 'main' cleaning
servers by hand because their LAN and WAN were eat up w/it. Some machines had
2000+ infected files. Machines were being attacked faster than they could be
cleaned. Machines in the same room were attacking each other. All Win2000 and
NT.
Just think - when microsuck takes over the world, even Daks will be powered by
their os. An embedded real-time version similiar to WinCE. The first Dak virus
is probably being conceived as I write this.
Sweet dreams,
Shane
