Microsoft continues to do the work of Linux advocates by making "advancements" like these...
I would have loved to be in that meeting:
Manager: "We've got to do something about these DoS attacks. They are hurting us in our corporate sales."
Programmer: "Hmm, we could have the machine shut down instead of executing the code."
Manager: "My Gates, that's brilliant! Users are used to having to reboot for no reason, and if they complain we'll tell them we will offer an upgrade to Longhorn for only $200.00 (when we figure out how to do it) for their trouble!"
Manager then promptly sends an e-mail to the development staff to make the necessary update and has the Programmer's job outsourced.
