This is simply untrue.

The buffer overrun exploits that allow you to raise your security level and
thus take over a machine are not possible in i5/OS. 

Anwyay, you can argue it all you want, Patrick.  I'm not the least bit
interested in a conversation that equates Windows security to i5/OS.  I was
pretty sure that's where you were going with this, and I've said my piece.
It's no longer a constructive conversation for me.
