> seven different kinds of antivirus software
The last time I counted up all the different persistent, security-related agents running on my corporate Windows box, it was actually 14.
Granted, a lot of THAT benefits from the fact that the container actually has to be a documented flavor of good solid *NIX, unlike the "Windows Image X" which is usually just a big "whatever" of old iron, management fad spoor, and seven different kinds of antivirus software. Hell, last time I did this, IT couldn't even find me any kind of description of what the "official" windows image actually was. So no fault of Windows there, it's just that, as the big bus everyone rides in, it gets all the goop from everyone wrenching on it.
