LOL, what a joke. The following are excerpts from the article in question.

<1>"The setups were hypothetical, however."
<2>"Authenticating the identity of computer users is a big topic at the conference, but Microsoft's Passport authentication system was missing in action."

So they Hypotheticaly put machines together and then without MS's biggest security risk and they call that a test. What a bunch of morons, bet MS had a hand in this.

Ummm..most tests are hypothetical.
And this test had both MS and Linux's biggest security risks.
That's what the tests were about: Security.
And the Linux guy was a university professor in computer science.
I think he probably knows a fair bit about this more than you do, don't you?
