✦ Synopsis

not the disease. Shipping operating systems with unnecessary services enabled is irresponsible and risky at best. What role does RPC/DCOM play on the average home user's computer? In the case of WebDAV, why enable remote management tools by default? Hasn't history taught us this same lesson over and again?

End users cannot be required nor expected to harden their computer systems. Its purely a pipe dream to ever assume they can or will. The burden cannot simply be off-loaded to the ISP either. Change must come from the source and it must come in the form of more responsible software releases. Only those services absolutely necessary for the system to operate in a non-networked fashion should be enabled by default. To do otherwise continues to place users and the Internet at increased risk of attack.
