Just thought I'd toss in some interesting finds in the talkbacks:

"I find it interesting and amusing that they find Apache secure enough for their own webserver.
Server: Rapidsite/Apa/1.3.20 (Unix) FrontPage/4.0.4.3 mod_ssl/2.8.4 OpenSSL/0.9.6

The result of a query for the word 'microsoft' in the atdi site. I think you'll find the ATDI has shown considerable pro-microsoft bias in the past coverage of the antitrust lawsuit and do not hold themselves to be an unbiased, third-party study group but rather an opinionated group which certainly is not to be trusted for a technological study about the security merits of open source software. Judging from the search this is just the latest in a long line of Pro-MS sentiments from ATDI, and they are not to be taken too seriously.

They have a section on how great MSCE's are. Best research money can buy: http://www.adti.net/gw-internet_regs.html
Here is a gem from these whores: 'Interestingly, the study also found a reverse correlation: Companies whose HR managers were unfamiliar with the MCSE program selected by a vast majority a four-year degree over a technical certification as a indicator of success in the workplace-demonstrating, in effect, that unfamiliarity breeds contempt.'
These guys are basically saying its better to get an MSCE than a four year BS degree.


A much better story than the release of this report should be the ADTI's connections with Microsoft.
Note the following link, where the institute raves on the virtues of MSCE's.

Here is another report stating that Microsoft should not be broken up:

If you read the ADTI website, it becomes clear that this group is just a pro Microsoft sham.
The real story here is that it would appear that Microsoft is unethically funding this so called think tank for legal, political and market gains.
Perhaps, you as a reporter should fine the source of ADTI's funding.

Ok. Here it is:

Just like the MindCraft fiasco, this is shaping up to be another stinker!
