January for us is Antivirus renewal month.

For years I've used Norton then Symantec AV. Used to be nice and easy, manage your clients from the Symantec Console, upgrade the agents once a year, maybe once every 2 years.

Then AV became Endpoint Protection, the good old console turned into a crappy web page hosted from a Tomcat install on windows.

Just got my renewal through, and lucky me...

"Dear Symantec Customer,
We are pleased to inform you that as a customer with current maintenance / support for Symantec

Saw a great quote you might like on a Linux forum, slagging off all things windows.

"To mess up a Linux box, you need to work at it; to mess up your Windows box, you just need to work on it. "
