One of the biggest misconceptions about Windows, is that it can not be set up securely. Lets get something out there right off the bat, the default installation does not do this.

Scripted installs can be set up so that nothing in the base installation can be changed without knowing the passwords to do so, similar to how it is done in Linux.

Go to any Hotel that has pc's setup for the guests, those are usually perfect examples of a scripted installations that you can not change anything on unless you know the admin, or root, name and password. They have no antivirus, no malware protection, just like a Linux install. If something in memory does get changed, all you have to do is reboot the machine and it is back to the same way it is every time you reboot it. Linux on the other hand, has a number of holes that allow buffer overflows to gain root access without knowing the Admin name or password. How safe is root, if you don't need either of those to make changes? Simple answer is that it isn't..

Like I said before, I have set up thousands of systems spanning many operating systems. And if you want the most secure operating system out there, Linux and Microsoft need not even be brought up in the discussion because there is another one that is far more secure than either of them ever will be.

Since so many of you seem to know far more about that than I do, please tell me what operating system that is............ It is has backwards compatible as well, back into the 1960s.... It is also the longest running op system ever made that you probably never even heard of, or even saw a system running it....

If you want secure, you should be running that OP system because it has a track record for rock solid security...........................
