��5{��������ars, you're going to be b!tching about how it isn't fair that Microsoft is hitting Orange Book A1 standards and has a monopoly on security technology.

If in ten years, Microsoft produces a secure operating system, I will be dancing in the streets. That way I won't have hoards of zombied Windows servers pinging the hell out of my Class Cs around the country.

As far as I know, MS has only been orange book certified once - and that was for NT service pack 4 on one specific hardware platform (I forget which one).  Contrast that to Novell which has a history of trying (and succeeding for the most part) of getting orange book certified on every release on every platform they run on.

Also, they should have learned from the Unix experience that implementing raw sockets was a brain-dead thing to do.
