I actually agree with this recommendation. BTW, in reading the URL, it says that 80% is toward MS NOT rewriting by the end of next year, not as stated. Jimmy -----Original Message----- From: Zot O'Connor To: U-PASS list; CRIME List Sent: 9/24/01 3:07 PM Subject: Gartner and IIS Interesting take on things. http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=01/09/24/1814256 Gartner Group is now recommending that IIS be replaced in corporate environments. This is based on the fact that TCO for IIS is rising due to the almost-weekly patches sent out by MS, and even then, it's nearly impossible to get patched quickly enough. Best part: 'Gartner remains concerned that viruses and worms will continue to attack IIS until Microsoft has released a completely rewritten, thoroughly and publicly tested, new release of IIS,' which they say has an 80% chance of happening by the end of next year." Gartner hasn't always said favorable things about Linux systems in the workplace, but the businesses that rely on this type of analysis to justify purchasing decisions may find this one interesting. -- Zot O'Connor http://www.ZotConsulting.com http://www.WhiteKnightHackers.com
