Another dumb patent
I suppose I'd need to actually read the patent, but this article makes it sound rather exactly like Squid - a product that's been around quite a while, though perhaps the Patent Office has no idea of that.
Windows philosophy is so different from Unix But that's Microsoft in general, isn't it? Saving a nanosecond of time is worth sacrificing security. I guess when you have a bloated monstrosity OS maybe you have to go looking for silly hacks like this - it's hardly the only fool hardy Windows "speed up" tip I've seen, and it won't be the last.
Arguing the cost of Windows Here's yet another post where people argue about the cost of switching to Linux: "Is Linux Cheaper on the Desktop Than Windows?". The Windows people raise their usual arguments about Linux sysadmins having higher salaries, the Unix/Linux folks counter that you need more Windows admins so those costs aren't true, the cost of viruses is balanced against the supposed virtues of Windows Group Policies scheme, and on it goes.
