Nope. Why people/companies insist the Microsoft is usable on the open internet today, despite all evidence to the contrary, is beyond me. They are not, and have not been, suitable-for-the-datacenter/internet for well over a decade now. Let the company and its swiss-cheese OS die already.

I've got to say I've been in security for 17 years now, and Microsoft's security has improved vastly over that time.

Are you suggesting that other operating systems have better security or just that they're all terrible?

Both are true. Microsoft has gotten a lot better. There are other operating systems that are more secure.

Microsoft are leaps and bounds ahead of where they were - IIS 4.0 is likely the least secure software ever placed on the live internet

>swiss-cheese OS

I sure hope you're not suggesting that Linux and its dozens of critical CVEs each year is better. Clearly you're talking about running the internet on BSDs, right?

Right?

> have there been any exploits for FreeBSD ?

ShadowBrokers is releasing these exploits to make a loud noise. FreeBSD exploits probably won't be covered on CNN.

If I had a 0-day for openssh I'd be selling it to people I could be sure would keep it a secret.
