Err, given the number of bugtraq emails involving redhat machines, it
might not be a great idea to have them go check the bugtraq archives. Do
the checking yourself, summarize the exploits against OpenBSD+{services
you wish to use}, and then summarize the exploits agains Win2K+{services
you wish to use AND internet explorer} (Since getting rid of IE on Win2k
is easiest done by installing a different OS. :)

In the interests of fairness, also mention that many people would love
(for whatever reason) to tarnish OpenBSD's reputation -- so the efforts
levied against OpenBSD is probably on par with the efforts levied
against Win2K.

Future responses should probably be sent to the advocacy lists. :)
