I think you've missed some of the weaknesses in NON DBF security - just because someone tells yoy something - don't necessarily make it so!

Competion is rough - look at MS's stock plunge - if they could scare you into buying something else, then buy it. A few months back, it almost seemed that S. Balmer was accusing anybody that used Linux as a terrorist when he said:"Using Linux is un-American"!

Whatever con you buy or disregard - only one thing is sure - in the end - the worms will eat us. Everything else is secondary!:-)
