Playing catch up with Unix

Patching via deltas is something that alot of Unix users have been doing for many years. Whenever i update my FreeBSD boxes i use the CVS system which simply 'patches the file' rather than replacing it, and these patches are called Deltas in CVS.
M$ niether coined the term nor the concept.

Firewall on by default, firewall starts first and default to deny are all extremely basic security measures that should have been included a long time ago. M$ always present these changes as ground breaking inovations that they have pioneered, whereas in fact they have been negligently lagging in security ever since they started networking and are only now being beaten into putting security into their products.
