If you're concerned with security, maybe you should use RedHat Linux
rather than Windows:

A bug fix from Microsoft takes almost 50 percent longer to reach the
market as a fix from Red Hat - this despite the fact that Microsoft has
huge advantages in funding and employees. An attentive Linux
administrator who did not want to wait for Red Hat RPM files could get
their patches even more quickly.

Does this security resolution test include all ms operatings systems?  Since
this is an NT advocacy group we should not include discussions about
win95/98 problems which most of the security alerts cover!

  Of course, this is not an NT newsgroup.  Since you bring it up,
though, what are all those service packs for that come out for WinNT?  I
suppose just to add some nice icons to your desktop?
