Having read this I sent this comment to the Commisioner's Office of the New South Wales police.
OK, his advice isn't perfect but it's a hell of a start in the right direction!

I'd just like to say a few words to congratulate the above Inspector for having the courage to say what needed to be said regarding the security (Or lack of it!) in Microsoft Windows. I am sure that his advice will encourage some people to migrate to a more secure operating system and will save a lot of people across the world from computer malware! I hope I have the privilege of helping some of the people who have taken his advise, in their switch to a Linux distribution. Please feel free to pass my hearty congratulations on to him. I have no doubt he will face a lot of abuse over his comments but I for one believe he did the right thing!
Best Regards,

With a firewall and antivirus windows is fine
and saying not to do something with an OS that has 80%
of the market share is pointless and fairly untruePosted 10-14-2009 at 09:03 PM by smeezekitty -
