(http://www.samtihen.com/) Well, apparently this is the second time Microsoft has come out on top of a research project by Mr. Richard Ford [fit.edu].

Apparently there was some question to the validity of an earlier project because it was sponsored by Microsoft.

However, I would like to note that both researchers seem very well educated, especially in computer security. And, additionally, they both note that a lot more could be done to lock down the Linux server.
