But no one takes risks they aren't required to take if they can be
avoided. Even you and I can't think that you're that stupid though you
could be.

If you understood management, you'd understand Joe has empowered his
employees. He has also set limits on things as well. I don't think Joe
has called anyone *incompetent" who chooses Windows since I'm more
inclined to think it's another of your creative snippings of the facts
or rewordings. Prove what he said if you think it's in error since I'm
sure you know how to google.

No, that's another of your constructed lies, said to create arguement.

It matters not. You guys always think that corporate america's IT folks
are dumb and can't do anything like protect their boxes. I wouldn't say
they are dumb like you would, but I also wouldn't say they're the best
either.
You protecting your one, two or three boxes is far, far easier than the
IT guys who have to protect thousands of machines.
