"One of these days, some victim of a botnet is going to initiate a class action lawsuit against Microsoft for publishing an insecure operating system, with the injured parties being the people whose machines were induced to participate in a tort." - by Russ Nelson (33911) on Tuesday June 08, @12:11AM (#32492314) Homepage
Ok Russ, per what I've quoted from you (seeing as you've been thoroughly "brainwashed" by the "wannabe slashdot samurais" around here on /., which many others know of, even in respected publications such as INFOWORLD here -> http://hardware.slashdot.org/story/10/06/07/1518216/Six-More-Tech-Cults from this week no less)?
Lets review some facts & figures from a respected security vulnerabilities gathering website (SECUNIA.COM) where we can see the number of known security vulnerabilities in each of the major "big 3" OS' in use (Windows 7, Linux 2.6x (kernel only, would be more with say, KDE/Gnome or BA$H security vulnerabilities added mind you), & MacOS X):

REMEMBER/AGAIN: This is the ENTIRETY of Windows 7 being analyzed - not just its kernel, as is the case with Linux 2.6x above... & ONLY 2 security problems are present!
Top that off with the fact that 1 of them IS EASILY "worked-around" no less, in the AERO problem!
The other will also be fixed, most likely, TODAY in FULL, also (as it is "Microsoft 'Patch Tuesday'" & what-not & I wager BOTH of the security vulnerabilities in Windows 7 will be fixed by then (less emphasis on AERO issue though, as it has a valid working safe "work-around" & MS tends to not concentrate on those as much, because they have easy work-arounds (turn off the THEMES service? You turn off AERO GLASS in essence is why, easy & works)))

So, we have security vulnerabilities issues in Windows, Linux, AND MacOS X (but, less apparently in the current builds of Windows (7, Server 2008) than there is in Linux OR MacOS X in terms of numbers of security vulnerabilities present!
That also includes the fact that Windows 7 has MORE being checked on too, ala the Windows kernel/core AND ITS OS SHELL in this analysis... not just kernel's like Linux 2.6x shown above!
(Thus again - There is most likely even MORE security holes in Linux, especially if you toss on GUI shells & Windows managers most likely, inclusive of diff. distros variations of both to compound that more).
(Sure, now I am certain I will also see repliers here to my post here say
"but the 2 security vulnerabilities in Windows are 'remote' in nature"

So, we have security vulnerabilities issues in Windows, Linux, AND MacOS X (but, less apparently in the current builds of Windows (7, Server 2008) than there is in Linux OR MacOS X in terms of numbers of security vulnerabilities present!
That also includes the fact that Windows 7 has MORE being checked on too, ala the Windows kernel/core AND ITS OS SHELL in this analysis... not just kernel's like Linux 2.6x shown above!
(Thus again - There is most likely even MORE security holes in Linux, especially if you toss on GUI shells & Windows managers most likely, inclusive of diff. distros variations of both to compound that more).
(Sure, now I am certain I will also see repliers here to my post here say
"but the 2 security vulnerabilities in Windows are 'remote' in nature"
Well, newsflash - ANY OF THESE SECURITY VULNERABILITIES REALLY "BOIL DOWN" TO BEING LOCAL, IN THAT SOONER OR LATER, THEY HAVE TO "TOUCH" THE LOCAL SYSTEM ANYHOW IN ORDER TO EXPLOIT THEM PERIOD!)

So, can Windows be secured far better than it comes "out of the box/oem-stock"? Absolutely. Heck, any OS usually can be... such as is shown here:

Per SECUNIA.COM it appears that currently the Linux kernel (not counting other distros with diff. softwares & functions + interfaces to them being diff. at usermode GUI shell levels either) seems to have more going on wrong with it than does Windows 7 for example (keeping it current version vs. current version here as to both OS'):

So older versions of Windows, if brought up, would allow me to add on older versions of Linux too and their security problems too mind you (keep this in mind).
So, sure: There are "other older flavors" of Windows, such as what VISTA &/or Windows 7 + Windows Server 2008 are based upon, in Windows Server 2003 (& it shows some "holes" but, they're not that bad - for instance, there isn't any I can't really handle here via ACL's or either cutting services or usage of some features (not that I use many that have security vulnerabilities in them anyhow) but, once more - We're keeping this comparison CURRENT VERSION vs. CURRENT VERSION here only).
Both OS' turn up new vulnerabilities all the time, & thank goodness they tend to patch them quickly nowadays (within a month's time, USUALLY, from Microsoft but sometimes they have ones that take longer, but they typically seem better/faster @ patching, than say, Apple is... Linux has a fast patch time also!)

Description
A vulnerability and a security issue have been discovered in Apple Safari, which may lead to exposure of sensitive information or can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.
1) A use-after-free error when handling pop-up boxes created from a child window can be exploited to execute arbitrary code when a user visits a specially crafted web page.
2) Safari includes HTTP basic authentication credentials in an HTTP request if a web page that requires HTTP basic authentication redirects to a different domain (e.g. via a "Location" header).
The vulnerability and the security issue are confirmed in version 4.0.5 for Windows. Other versions may also be affected.
Solution
Disable JavaScript (e.g. via the "Security" tab in the Safari preferences dialog). Do not authenticate to sites that use HTTP basic authentication and use redirections to different domains.

Clone, face it: Opera's FASTER than FireFox in HTML parse & process work, plus javascript work too, and Opera shows less bugs over time than FireFox does, consistently no less... whether or not you can handle that or not, doesn't matter - you LOSE, as per usual.

I don't think that's true at all. The purpose of the web browser is to display content. Thus, almost by definition, any browser that can end up executing arbitrary code by doing so is not doing its job. With Opera, the only avenues are from things like null-pointers, buffer overflows etc. - the usual methods that do apply to *all* software and are covered by your reasoning. You can compromise a plugin, but that is common to all browsers that use that plugin - that's not a "browser" problem (I don't blame Opera if Java is compromisable, unless it's something to do with the way Opera implements Java). However, IE has in the past had any number of ways of executing code directly without the user's knowledge or consent - sadly Firefox followed suit by allowing things like ActiveX on the Windows platform. Those avenues may be fixed now but it's the design that's bad, not just the execution. Still, Firefox doesn't do half as many stupid things as IE has done in its history.
I've used Opera for years, always kept it up to date, and I've actually used it in the past to go to those websites that people hand me and say "Is this safe to click?" - with Opera the worst that happens is you get a download link or something asks for permission to execute... with IE, a VAST proportion of the time, even with automatic updates, the same actions would instantly and without permission start executing code. Try it - set up a virtual machine (on a host you don't care about and on a secured network) and patch IE to the hilt - then go off exploring (googling for pirate games is a good way to flag up some malware websites)... you will get code executions and compromises all over the place. Now do the same in Opera - because it doesn't even *try* to trust things from the web, it will survive a lot better - not because it's less targetted, but because it really doesn't do a lot of the stupid crap that IE has done in the past.
And please don't give me the "IE has more users" crap - any software with a hole can and will be exploited but the fact is that IE is *also* an easy target. If it has more users, then they should/can/do put more developers on fixing it. And that's *NO* excuse for having insecure software - I don't care if the software on my networks has 1 or 1,000,000 users outside my company - I damn well expect it to be secure and to have timely patches to known (and HUGELY announced) problems, especially if I'm paying money for support for it.

Get "hooked on phonics" & learn to READ, moron. Your information quoted above WAS OUT OF DATE THE DAY YOU POSTED IT, lol...
Additionally, before you tell others how to write, moron, produce proof of your PHD in English AND LEARN TO READ, because you skimmed over the fact FireFox turned up YET ANOTHER SECURITY BUG, lol, after FireFox 3.6.2 which you ranted above about & are caught in being out of date on no less.
Without a PHD in English to your name though? Well, who the hell are you to tell others how to write, clown? Nobody. Just like you are nobody in the field of computing and your outright mistake and big mouth above got you shut right up for mistakes you made there.

Learn to read idiot, and speak for yourself: Per your quote at the top of this reply?
Well - it appears that FireFox 3.6 had a bug when you raved on it, lol, right where Germany said to stay away from it, as they did for IE before that (but never for Opera) AND, 3.6.2 had one as well, lmao....
Then, you noted FireFox 3.6.2 issued as a patch on 04/05/2010, but again - Guess what?
FireFox 3.6.2 also had a bug in it, forcing the issue of YET ANOTHER PATCH to FireFox, lol! Buggy crap being recommended by a no mind like Clown? No thank you.

That's where you quote above is from, and, Where Germany advised its peoples to stay away from FireFox, as they had for IE before that (but, never for Opera).
(Thus, yet another security bug surfaced in FireFox 3.6.2 in that time frame, yet again, 2x that week it appears (LOL!)).
Clone - How stupid do you feel after that quoted rant of yours above that opens this posting of mine in reply?
Now everyone here will see how stupid you are, repeatedly, in all of your posts... lol!
Clone - tell us, what came out the next day after you posted your crap I quoted above, Clone the CLOWN, you utter dimwit?
FireFox 3.6.3!
Why?? Because YET ANOTHER SECURITY VULNERABILITY SURFACED THAT DAY OR THE NEXT DAY in FIREFOX, YET AGAIN, lmao...
"too, Too, TOO EASY!"
Obviously clone the clown, you lost yet again, and you obviously have done nothing with your wasted life, based on such a stupid mistake on your part above CLOWN. Obviously, You're too stupid to exist CLOWN, and it's no small wonder that all you do is post on slashdot all day, as you don't have enough skills or degrees necessary to your name in computing to actually have or hold a job in the sciences of computing.
