I've seen the outcomes of certain hacking competitions yield varied results and the argument over which OS is currently more secure has never seemed to go beyond an anecdotal level.

Hello, recently, i began to read about windows programming, and i thought i could start with .NET since it is the "FUTURE" but as i happen to figure out, it is just like a fancy wrapper around COM, COM+, AUTOMATION and the rest of MICROSOFT technologies, so i wanna know if it is essential for any microsoft developer to get aquainted with...
