sphbecker, the Developer's Preview of OS X had a firewall... But this is irrelevent---the question: when?. Tech is perfectly right to laugh. OS X allows all manner of remote logging capabilities. It certainly is capable of VPN tunneling (this is one of the most recent additions, yes).
What you did was start a feature comparison. Something I don't want to get into either, but what happened was you made the mistake of being completely out of touch and aware of what you were talking about and completely misrepresenting is as if it was OS 9. That's irrelevent, and is just as bad as Apple mocking what is Windows of years past in their ads.... I know their strategy and accept why they do it--(lot's of people are stil using 98 or Me or 95).
But if you actually want to know what you can do with other systems besides Windows you should check them out not rattle off whatever you want to presume. ODBC support was added, in what? 10.1, Tech, or was that .2 when it became a control panel/app? If you wanted to know (well, Tech will know, I'm lazy right now). Siebal and Oracle are fully supporting their dbs on the Mac. What Microsoft added was ODBC support into Office. It wasn't lacking as a feature--MS lacked it as a supported feature in Office.
soda, just before coming here, I was on my Windows desktop at work too... from home. from my Mac.
