Astoria, NY | ive been running IIS for years, and never had a problem.
If you are competent, IIS can be a good solution.
Remember people, we are dealing with morons, who even after 50000 warnings, still do not bother to patch their boxes, and management etc not willing to devote the extra money for the those responsible to patch them. |

Ah, I forgot, this is the US Government. I tend to think that the smart ones are in charge... oh me of great hopes. |

I am reminded of the automobile seatbelt interlocks on cars in the mid 70's.
The car would not start unless you had your seatbelt fastened. Me wonders how many lives would have been saved had that system not been nulled by the courts. I know of one 16 year old girl who would be alive today.
My point?
You are the exception Detth. More and more we are learning what a weapon a compromised computer with a broadband connection can become.
As evidenced my this latest attack, there are far too many admins/users who won't take the simple steps to secure their systems for their own and everyone else's good.
I hate to think that M$ would have to take control of our systems to insure that all the patches are in place, but it's getting to be a very nasty world out there in cyber-space.
It's too bad that we have to put a gun to the head of (L)users to force them to protect themselves, but it's becoming evident that it may be the only solution. |

Well if companies in general would stop sending all the IT jobs to India, maybe someone in IT would care. As it stands now, a degree in Computer Science is great if you like to travel, TO INDIA!! |

| Wouldn't it take about 200 years to pay off a student loan on India's wages? |

| The cost of going to IIT is less that what you would make flipping burgers. And where the top 10% of students here can get into Ivy league, there it's the top 2%.
Edit: Not to mention that that Computer Science degree would be a joke at IIT.
