	I've seen that exact report before... it's been critized multiple 
times for having a Linux server that was configured in such a way to 
decrease it's effectiveness... It's defiantly a propoganda piece, aimed

configuration that we crippled on purpose because Microsoft contributed a 
lot of money to us!'
