After being screwed by MS SW Assurance, how many fell for that ripoff,
if MS screw up business users with volume licences they are in big

Security is one of those funny things. You can talk about being "more"
secure, but there's no such thing. A vulnerability is a vulnerability, and
even one makes you just as insecure as anyone else. Security is a binary
condition, either you are or you aren't. - Funkenbusch 1 Oct 2006
