Otherwise dress at least one step up from those you supervise, or better yet at an equivalent step to what your new supervisors are wearing

What if his new subordinates take that advice too? Then they're trying to dress equivalent to him, while he's trying to dress one step up from them.

It's a vicious cycle that'll see them all wearing Gucci tuxedos (or whatever is the highest in style).

Hackers said that Microsoft is better at making their products more secure than anybody else? What about Charlie Miller the Pwn2Own winner who said pretty much the exact opposite? I guess he doesn't count.

Are you stupid or just intentionally trying to mislead people?

If you actually read the interview that you linked to, you'd know he basically said that Microsoft has put the most effort into securing their systems. Admittedly, they had the most to work on, but that still doesn't make your statement true.

How about this quote from the interview?
"Between Mac and PC, I'd say that Macs are less secure for the reasons we've discussed here (lack of anti-exploitation technologies)"

Please note that ActiveSync hasn't had to work like this for about 5 years (since Windows Mobile 6). No new phone that uses ActiveSync will use the AUTD method (the SMS method you're talking about).

Now, there is a "constant" data connection between the device and the server. It's very low usage though - just enough to let the server know the device is still alive. Exchange will push the messages to the device as long as it has had a ping from the device within the alloted time frame (an always updating, adjustable time frame that works similar in theory to TCP flow control).

not solely buried in some control panel somewhere, which is the reason Windows notebooks have those switches in the first place

Spoken like someone who has never used Windows.
Windows puts a little icon in the system tray (which is viewable all the time) for the wireless connection. It looks like a little computer with radio waves coming out of it. Right-click it, choose Disconnect or Disable. Just because some (not all) hardware vendors choose to put a switch on the chassis to give the user a choice, doesn't mean Windows has bad design.
The fact that Mac computers don't have a physical switch certainly doesn't make their design better.

You forgot some: Rent your living space most of your life because you will not be able to buy a decent home on 40% of your salary set aside minus all the money in rent you've been paying so far until you are retired (and then would have no money to live on), and you cannot get a mortgate (no credit). Do not have a family. Sounds grand.
