Excuse me, but NT does NOT have excellent auditing/security. Internet
hackers are just starting to wade into NT, and the more I talk to them
the more gaping holes I find.
However, it is very expensive, both in terms of =

What??? NTFS is not encrypted! NTFS is not a secure file system! You can
directly edit NTFS disk sectors from WITHIN NT! You can also boot to DOS
and using the NTFS4DOS driver read any file regardless of encryption. You
can also reinstall NT and Take Ownership of entire volumes! And if you
physically transfer the hard disk to another NT box you can also take
ownership, negating all file security!
goons still have conniption fits about placing classified data on an =
unclassified NTFS partition. Any word on when NT will be network =
certified??
