Visually Explained? The only purpose served by the visualisations on that site is using my CPU, spinning up my fans and provide visual clutter. PS: It's just an advertisement.

In this case, "visual" is just a wall of text presented with some extra styling.

"While you may be able to avoid & slip under the radar of a local Intrusion Detection System, it is unlikely you'll be able to avoid being caught by a cloud hosted IDS like Barricade."

Ugh.

Looks interesting...but...

I work for a web hoster. My job is spread equally across Linux and Windows as both a sysadmin and developer so I have no axe to grind either way, each has features and capabilities I love, each has its own annoyances that make my roll my eyes.

Now, if there's anything that's going to put me off a company and its services then it's language and claims such as:

> "Windows is not as secure"

> "Windows is often regarded as a scrip kiddie OS"

If you want to be taken seriously by pro's that's the sort of thing I wouldn't be sticking on my web pages. It's tiresome tedious stuff.
