</div>I will disagree with this from an enterprise perspective. If you use the<br>
OS version then you are letting the OS team maintain security<br>

you probably need to find a better application.<br></blockquote><div><br>I totally concur with this. OS has done the hard(est) work. Don't let the developers of the end application make life hell by using "special" versions of tools that can't be audited with a security trace.<br>

The other side of that is if you are happy to spend your time<br>
recompiling and distributing your application every time software you<br>
depend on comes out. For Java that would be about 4-6 times a year. Not<br>
as often for the others.<br></blockquote><div><br>I pity the .NET developers. That pile of trash gets updated every month on the second Tuesday. I don't see Mono crowing much any more. :-)<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

It really depends on where you want to spend your time.<br>
