i found your analogy astonoshing..

but think of it like this..

if win2k was an airport the planes would be taking off and landing around the clock with only a few delays..

win 2003, the planes have not yet taken off..

which jumbo jet would you rather be in?

onos? gorge? skulk? or maybe a fade?

we have to rely on these principals for our safety so why not those strategies?

Greg, that's an excellent analogy and is a helpful approach to W2K3 security.

I guess to extend your analogy, I lock my doors at night, not my landlord. The core of my analogy was the over-restrictions to the developer being similar to the excessive security at airports which in most respects is inefficient, costly, and a pain.

What triggered my thinking on this was when I was watching Howard Dean's Endless Summer coverage on CSpan and a INS agent was scanning him from head to foot. I thought how then how much this airport security zeal is costing us individually and economically.

Anyway, thanks for your post.
