Some inaccurate info + Some good news from ADHOC!

First, the good news: Congrats to my co-worker Jorg Brown for winning the first ADHOC Showcase for his clever Unsummarize hack! [ADHOC was formerly MacHack].
 
Next, the not so accurate news: People are always coming up with conspiracy theories that claim that MSNBC is a shill for Microsoft that only reports good news. Well, this article had a little gem that caught my attention:
 
In the end, [Russ Cooper, senior scientist at TruSecure Corp.] expects most corporations will run a very scaled-down version of SP2, both because they want to avoid compatibility problems and because it could be a nightmare to manage things like personal firewalls on thousands of desktops.
 
Apparently Cooper has never been in an enterprise with thousands of Windows desktops - there's a mechanism called Group Policy which lets you define exactly that kind of behavior on the desktop machines. Whoops.

I find that most people, even a lot of windows admins really don't have a clue as to the excellence of the AD tools.
