[News] Architectural Windows Flaws

http://www.roughlydrafted.com/Oct05.5Flaws.html

Here is the gist:

Flaw 1 - Windows' Interactive Services

,----[ Details ]
| Like all Unix distributions, Mac OS X spawns background system
| processes, called daemons, to handle various tasks. 
`----

Flaw 2 - Windows' opaque and illogical file system presentation

Flaw 3 - 'Least privilege' is impractical and broken

Flaw 4 - No signal of privilege escalation

Flaw 5 - Windows' expensive processes

,----[ Details ]
| Another problem for Windows is that launching a new process is
| expensive. While Unix was designed to be very efficient at spawning
| new processes, Windows NT was designed to handle parallel processing
| using multiple threads within a single process.
