Security is a serious concern as well. Just days ago, an AV software company
had its Windows server hijacked and it served viruses instead of AV software.
While trying to track down the domain, Google stopped me to warn about a
virus. Later on I received the following E-mail from a friend (Apache vs IIS
being the context).

Here's a very old, but recently updated, blog entry:

I'd hate to see what MS Vista looks like. However, there it is. It would be
really great if the same diagrams could be acquired for other kernels.
Speaking of system calls, here's an article which points out a flaw in several
systems. For the publicity, it goes after OpenBSD, probabl because the odds
are small of an article openly critical of MS being permitted:

The bottom line is that it's trivial to circumvent each and every Windows
anti-virus product on the market.

Watch that ZDNet post if you haven't.
