Microsoft Longhorn server security is a step backwards?
Longhorn is the next version for Microsoft Server 2003.
An anonymous reader posted in /. that:
“The ‘most secure Windows ever‘ may be very secure from hackers and malware — but what do you do when Longhorn Server lets you install the OS, set up Active Directory, and initialize the domain without once asking you even to create an administrator password? From the article: ‘What happened to Windows Server? Where did all of the stringent security checks and ultra-protection of Windows Server 2003 go? Windows Server 2000 was quite insecure, and Windows Server 2003 turned over a new leaf… But it seems Microsoft is more than willing to flip that page back — even Windows Server 2000 required an Administrator password at the very least.’”
