It's interesting...yes, I do make fun of my Windows brethren about their
security problems, but the fact is they have it pretty easy since you know
when MS security patches are coming out and you know when you'll have to
patch your servers.  But Cisco doesn't seem to make it that easy to keep a
large environment of their devices up to date.  Some better tools from
them would be good - even for those of us who do have support contracts.
