supporting Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008.

"I believe a bug in OS Linux has allowed hackers to access Pentagon network
and steal classified national security information and place blame on China"",

_Marshel_,

have you got a link to the BBC news story? The English link appears to be down and my google search just brings me to your quote from the fulldisclosure mailing list (http://seclists.org/fulldisclosure/2008/Apr/0003.html).

in addition to being a joke, it's also an insult to us open-source believers. Angry
