Re: arguments against moving site from Linux/Apache/PHP server to Windows/IIS/PHP needed

> First of all, security.. Windows is full of security holes Did anyone mention the weak password encryption that cnet.com talked about recently? If you get a copy of the password file, you can break any MSW password in a few seconds. Macintosh passwords takes 4000 times as long (or 4000 times as much memory). And Microsoft saying "Well, we don't think it's a problem." or something like that. At any rate, check the advisory lists, break them down by platform for management. Make sure they don't overlook Mac OS X Server and openBSD. Do some research -- the research your management is most likely to understand is research that is done in house. -- Joel Rees, programmer, Kansai Systems Group Altech Corporation (Alpsgiken), Osaka, Japan http://www.alpsgiken.co.jp
