[edit] Microsoft Puffery

The following phrase in this article looks like Microsoft puffery. Is it really necessary?

As Microsoft's flagship security product, ISA Server is well positioned to take on the firewall/VPN market. It's interoperability with other Microsoft products provides a lower TCO for customers that already have a Microsoft infrastructure in place.

[edit] POV

This article reads like a corporate flyer, I am sure it's more or less accurate, but a security product from microsoft must have some issues.

I much agree, no product is perfect. The only reason I read this page was because a friend gave me a link to details on a security hole, but I did not know what ISA was. To read about how it is such a great security product is a joke after reading that security advisory. --
    • To quote an article refering to a security advisory for a product that is well off the market (ISA 2000) is not excactly fair. If I was to publish every security advisory for Cisco/Checkpoint etc for the last 7 years thsi discussion could go on a while. That said, the article needs substantial updating.

  • I cleaned up the adverty parts of the article. It sounds though as if it could actually have been from a Microsoft ad itself. If someone wants to rewrite the adverty parts and translate them into something encyclopedic, then by all means, go ahead. - Damicatz 02:21, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Network-templates large.gif

Image:Network-templates large.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 05:16, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Contradiction

The article says Proxy Server v2.0 was launched in 1997, but the timeline says 1999. Riki 13:48, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
