same old MS bull****.

Looking real hard at some Unix development contracts where the OS just does what it's supposed to do.

20+ years ago I had a conversation with an IT manager where he was going bravado on me about how he could break into any Windows system. Curious I said, "please elaborate." His words, "Oh we just cycle power on the PC, it gets past all the screen locks." Most of my people used Windows to run an X-Windows connection to their Unix machines. I politely informed him that doing that might be a career limiting move. He seemed to think he was there in a not so support role.

24 years later, and the best MS can come up with are ads in the start menu and pushing their "you must have a network login bs."
