Microsoft says turn off Windows feature to protect Windows

• drhowarddrfine 17y ago
  Isn't this always the way Windows is? Microsoft comes out with Vista and the first thing everyone wants to do is show you how to turn things off to make it run better. To fix bugs, Microsoft wants you to turn things off.

  Did the author really just reference Wikipedia? If you reference that Wiki entry not only is it very poorly written, it doesn't cite many references either.

  Umm, isn't this the same as Linux???? You have to "harden" a Linux box from most distributions. OpenBSD is a nice flag carrier, but it comes with most services turned off. Would you leave default configured Fedora smbd/bind/sendmail running on a server in Production???
