Just look at Microsoft record for patching it's software Hey " Let's get the facts" With over 100,000 piece's of malware floating around for Microsoft products it is clear that either, Microsoft no longer has ability to fix their own software or They chose not to fix it hoping to SELL you a new software product. As evidence see; XP home http://secunia.com/product/16/ Xp Pro http://secunia.com/product/22/ Windows 2000 Professional http://secunia.com/product/1/ Windows Server 2003 Enterprise http://secunia.com/product/1174/ A quick scan of those pages shows that not only that Microsoft has not patched a lot of known security issues, but some of them are years old. That right Microsoft has left it's software unpatched for YEARS, how the consumer can put up with this is beyond me. Now compare this to a few of Linux distro's SUSE Linux 9.2 http://secunia.com/product/4258/ SuSE Linux 9.1 http://secunia.com/product/3473/ Fedora Core 3 http://secunia.com/product/4222/ Mandrakelinux 10.0 http://secunia.com/product/3918/ So what if Linux has more(?) security alerts at least the chances of them ALL being patched quickly is much better. |

No... Windows is for some people but it isn't for me. Winux 2010? Buy it if it was free? I don't see what buying has to do with it. I might give it a try but I doubt it would appeal to me. |
How do you buy winux for free?
Okay, anyway, if you had a choice between any other version of linux you would go with that as MS does not have a good reputation for security... They would have the force the issue by offering a linux with real windows app support, and they wont do that for obvious reasons... |
There will be no longhorn. It's a chimaera.
(I mean longhorn will be an XP SPn, not what m$ intended to do at the beginning) (window can't be improved. The system is now so complex that nothing can be deeply modified, even with billion dollars) (window is an MVS "clone", that's why the system is complex) And that's why window is overwhelmed by Linux and that's why window is going to die. |
