Windows vs Linux On Security

e8johan writes "NewsFactor is running an article asking whether Linux really is more secure that Windows. I'd say that they miss to point out that Microsofts Office suite combined with VBA scripting makes Windows more insecure than anything I've ever seen, but they do make some good points, especially when discussing Open Source and security."

    Come on slashdot editors. That should be "whether" and not "weather".

    When you get older you will stop caring about trivialities of teen angst like worrying over freedom of software, manufactured bands like Britney Spears or "evil" Microsoft.

    Teen angst is something that results when you realize that the whole world is screwed up and you only have a few useful years to do anything about it before you get sucked into being a part of why its so messed up. Post-teenage angst is that hopelessness that you feel when you realize you wasted your only chance to change your miserable little corner of the universe on keg parties and chasing after females that rejected you anyways, and now you've been sucked into the whole machine and must grind out your remaining years as another redundant cog that perpetuates the whole thing.

    I know. I was you, now I am the cog in the machine content in my own little niche and see absolutely nothing wrong with it.
