Well, I agree Windows NT is shit. Literally.
NO other operating system has had as many security holes and botch-ups like it. Win2k is even WORSE.
Did you know that it takes a 900 page manual for a Navy sysadmin to set NT up to the point of having the security or fonctionality that even FreeBSD had?
A little history for those who haven't read it:
Back a few years ago, some moron decided to see how they could save the US Navy some money by switching from Unix to NT. It looked good on the books, but the idiot had no clue as far as system security, I could state that as FACT.
So a lot of ships and shore commands went to NT. To get to anywhere as near the basic security and functionality of a *nix child, they have to do a LOT of setup and alterations.
Against the orders of CNET, and with good cause (though permissed), my division had a little 'hack war' going on with some twits in Pensacola that thought NT was better than anything else.
We were using FreeBSD (when it was ordered to use NT), and they used NT. Needless to say, they couldn't touch us unless they resorted to DoS attacks of certain types. They were broken into and defaced every three hours. Yeah, it's so bad, if you knew the system, you could have a script hack in.
But still, the US Military as a whole are dumb as rocks when it comes to security, and still use NT widely, yet I could tell you the folks at my liason command probably shot anyone who talked about NT in any tone other than derogratory.
Why do you think navy.mil gets hacked and defaced every week? It's a complete joke, and their security staff is around a dozen.
So I state incontrovertibly, NT is a floating turd in the toilet bowls of bad operating systems.
This redefines sucking ass...
