Linux versus Windows Challenge (Score 3, Informative)

One thing I forgot to put in my review is this:

The HLE authors have a Windows vs Linux Security Challenge where they want to have a Linux security team and a Windows security team install and secure a Linux and Windows machine at the same time, documenting what they do and how long their machines are vulnerable. I'd love to see this. It'd be a great way to see exactly how bad Windows machines for both generic installation (imagine counting the number of reboots for one vs the other as you update service pack after service pack, a reboot after installing IIS, another when you change your password ;-) and security (locking down the machine so that IIS doesn't have a billion holes from the default installation).

I'd pay good money to see this.
