<RANT> Nothing other than anti-Microsoft propaganda. You cannot blame Microsoft for high market share. The main reason that *Nix hosts are generally more resilient to these type of worms is that it is less likely for a non informed administrator to administer a *Nix sever. If everyone that had a IIS box available on the big I, installed all related patches, worms like Code Red would never propagate very far. Raw socket support in NOT a bad thing. I wonder if Robert Cringely and Steve Gibson are friends. Has Robert studied TCP at all. Does he realize that there are already about 400 varieties of TCP, with many hacks and alterations. MS/TCP ?? A proprietary MSFT network/transport protocol !! My favorite part of the article "Say goodbye to TCP/IP and to anonymous connections of any kind. Hello to Hailstorm, tracking everything down to the last mile, and a more business-friendly Internet with prioritized packet-handling. " </RANT> I really encourage anyone with a tough skin, and looking for a good laugh to read this article. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robert Hough" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, August 05, 2001 12:23 AM Subject: The Death of TCP/IP > > Felt like sharing this most amusing article that I discovered in my > Inbox this morning: > > http://www.pbs.org/cringely/pulpit/pulpit20010802.html > > -- > Robert Hough ([email protected])
