But the numbers are the numbers in heterogenous environments, regarding security problems by platform. And if it rains perpetual Windows-based incidents on your security staff, and you don't consider the numbers when evaluating what you will and will not do, compute/services-wise, then you are statistically likely to see the same rate of incidents, at whatever cost that comes to the business, indefinitely.

Similarly, looking at vulnerability counts by vendor doesn't paint a rosy picture of our largest vendor Microsoft, either. But it pales in comparison to the incident statistics, which speak for themselves.

To Microsoft's credit, they've managed to turn their weaknesses into a secondary industry, wherein they now no longer sell just the disease, they also sell the cure. "Oh, your Windows systems have security problems? Have we told you about our expansive security solutions? They're only an additional $your_budget_doubled per year!"

Good luck.

The whole armored vehicle market is a relatively small one; it's interesting to learn that BMW is direct participant; I previously had no idea. I foresee a lot of wasted time scouring eBay looking for a project my family will resent me for later in my immediate future!

That can all change, but speculating about the nature or timing of any changes like that is well outside my area, so I'll sit and watch from a distance.

And, again, I'm not vested in any outcome here. It'll work out however it works out, and I'm 2000+ miles away from it, so it won't have much effect on my life.
