...then it's time to ban Windows machines from the internet.

It IS time to appotion blame - the blame lies squarely with the stupid marketing-based decisions made by the clueless in Redmond, and their fundamental lack of understanding of the basic concept of a security model.

Simple solution: Put those Redmond morons out of business once and for all by disconnecting every Windows machine and then suing them for each machine disconnection from the web - say $50000 per machine, just for the inconvenience....

I installed NT on a DEC Alpha. So I can safely put that on my resume as my only Windows experience. Few days later I wiped it and installed OSF/1 so I could do something useful with the machine. But there definitely was a port for Alpha and it worked (as in installed). I'm not sure my company bought it. Maybe it was a demo. We were definitely just a OSF/1, SCO, Linux, OS/2, & VMS shop. No real use for NT.
