I am sure that someone can point a link to the recent article about an 
Insurance company charging extra for M$ servers due to security concerns.

Thought to be fair to the M$ guy I can understand him not wanting 
something he doesn't fully understand on his box.  It just that I have 
noticed that pretty much everytime we have to do something for a M$ 
orientated client it involves much more work and effort than it really 
should.  If a M$ security hole is found on the system he can blame Gates 
and Bulmer if a hole is found in a open source product service or 
application the management will look to him.  I believe this is part of 
what SuSE, Red Hat and Caldera are selling, someone to blame.

I would say a nice glass of warm milk would be better ;-)

Bruce as usual has an erudite, reasoned and intelligent response to such 
drivel, I on the other hand simply call the bloke a prat!
