We installed XP with the NTFS file system, choosing all of the factory defaults, then patched it with each recommended security update including SP-1 (required), before installing SP2."

windows has a host file, and it has nothing to do with "domain name servers", as it as nothing to do with it in linux either

the article is a bit right on some points, and just trolling against microsoft in all other point (as usual)

most of the so called uneedeed services are needed, everything is firewalled etc, stop the damn thing against microsoft already. They ain't right everywhere but they ain't always 100% wrong.
