administer servers included training on assessing security. I also agree that a lot of corporate data needs high security, but that should still be the decision of the people in charge of the data, not the sales staff and techs over at Microsoft.

For the vast majority of users high security is not needed, and the corporate ones who need it do use it, but now we have Microsoft saying everyone gets it whether they want it or not. Well, what we'll see is more wide open systems because people who are currently using low end security will not have the skill or interest in going with the high end stuff.

Whether people have the skills to accurately assess security issues or not, it should always remain their choice as to what level they want, except where decreed by law, it should NOT be a software company forcing a high level of security on them.

Kieron, I'm not saying there isn't a place for high end security, what I am saying is it should be my choice, not someone else's if there isn't a law about it.
