Why UNIX is better than Windows... By Microsoft

BenBenBen writes "According to a whitepaper found on "a fairly insecure server", UNIX not only is more reliable and easier to maintain than Windows (2000 in this case), it's cheaper too. These shock results are reported on both The Register and (the source) Security Office."

    When my child was run over by a popping-ball "lawnmower", and killed... I became suddenly aware of the danger of toys. I have locally formed a group to raise awarness of the liability of the toy industry for allowing such lax standards to pass. In addition to our monthly toy burning, we all agree to read on book together on the evils of the toy industry. This book is so popular, it's been selected over a dozen times for book of the month. Very compelling!

    Hotmail ran FreeBSD for years, didn't it? We probably don't need a whitepaper to tell us what we already knew. Wouldn't it be neat if MS put out a fully reliable, configurable, cheap O/S?

    Ralph, I apologize for even asking, but these past 12 years how many dumb Simpsons jokes have you endured?

    One of our tenants was named Chad and surprisingly got few "hanging" or "pregnant" jokes during election 2000.

    Thanks Ralph. And I always thought they underestimated you. :)

    Taco, I can't believe you had the balls to post this nonsense

    Mr cscx, as soon as this "nonsense" is verified as coming directly from a MS server, and MS claims it was "just one person's opinion" then I'll demand you post an apology.

    If, on the other hand, this is a complete fabrication, I will personally buy you a six-pack of the most expensive beer you can nominate.

    Do you agree? Do we have a deal?

  6. Linux vs Microsoft by sabatogz · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    At the beginning I liked Slashdot, but the continued agenda of most of the posters is to bash Microsoft and praise Linux. I bet on a normal day there could be 3 or 4 pro Linux articles and 1 or 2 articles about a new MS security hole, which is mostly likely true. Most of use probably use Microsoft or Linux products, we know enough of the shit. I come to read articles NOT related to my job. Now let's get bad to Slashdoting some poor basterds web site.

    Since my name is Barry, not many. But my mom has a good friend named Bart Simpson. There was a lawyer in Indianapolis, who was born in the 20s, named Donald Duck.
