You could make the argument that Microsoft should have designed more security into their products to prevent security breaches of this nature, but you could also argue that Firestone should make their tires out of kevlar to prevent people from slashing them.
In Microsoft's case, I think they could take better measures to ensure that their software and NOSen are less vulnerable, but they don't, and that's why my network no longer has any NT servers on it. Microsoft can't predict and prevent 100% of all attacks, but they can take more steps to help prevent some of the attacks. -- JustThe.net LLC - Steve "Web Dude" Sobol, CTO - sjsobol () JustThe net Donate a portion of your monthly ISP bill to your favorite charity or non-profit organization!
