Would it be possible to end this thread? Granted, I was one of the first participants, but it more-than-obvious that Linux-IL'ers won't persuade you that MS is far from being secure, and it's equally unlikely that by posting random links you'll persuade Linux-IL'ers that MS is the new "white", making this sub-thread redundant at best. - Gilboa _______________________________________________ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
