Did anybody else notice the Kerberos excerpt:

"Windows 2000 supports Kerberos security, which provides a state-of-the-art
user authentication. It is widely accepted that Microsoft has the current
reference implementation of Kerberos in Windows 2000."

"Kerberos can be installed on Linux, but only as an extra feature., and the 
fact that Kerberos is not a standard feature in Linux leads to
versioning problems. By contrast, all OS and security patches are
immediately posted to the Microsoft Website-much better than Linux-, which
would require having to get the fixes from any number of vendors who are
providing the various pieces of a Linux deployment".

I don't know where to start on that  :-)
