Re: How Secure is Windows, Really?

Of course, you could also put your DMZ on a PC and just put procedures in

But, if PCs are (currently) inherently less secure and can be compromised regardless of AV or other software without the knowledge of users, including MS's best efforts at creating a secure OS,... is it really a good idea to rely on a PC as the gateway? (I.e., "How Secure is Windows, Really?") 

Perhaps the AV scan on iSeries is still the best choice.
