Re: Facepalm?

Then how do you UPDATE them when exploits appear, which they ALWAYS will no matter which OS you use (remember, some of the nastiest bugs have been on UNIX-based systems)? Being forced to replace the hardware can be too costly, for example, and perhaps too labor-intensive depending on how it's built.
