Does Microsoft provide all of the solutions discussed in PC Fear Factor?
No very few, in fact. The fact is, whenever Microsoft strays to far from their core competency the basic Windows operating system they dont do a very good job. For example, the Windows XP Internet Connection Firewall is inferior to commercially available products, and Microsoft even admits to such on their web site. Specialization is here to stay, and software companies that specialize in one particular area of disaster prevention or disaster recovery tend to do a much better job than vendors that try to be all things to all people.
