[plug] Virus

[Quintin Lette]

And AD is just sooooo easy to crash n burn anyway.. to the extent you can't 
logon to ANYTHING :(

I can't see any reason I would ever want to use a M$ server for anything.. 
except maybe to prove to someone how much better Linux is :)

Not to mention that every service that you install is by default insecure, and 
must be secured manually (if you really know what you are doing ie less than 
0.001% of M$ admins)

Stick to Linux is my only advice
