Windows Developers Agree: Linux More Secure

Posted by michael on from the statistical-games dept.

theblackdeer writes "eWeek has an article up about an Evans Data Corp survey that the majority of Windows developers agree that linux is a more secure OS. "Linux scored high for innate security among respondents, more than two- thirds of whom 'use or target Windows with their code.' Indeed, only 23 percent of the developers were primarily Linux developers.""

    RMS agrees, Microsoft Visual Studio .NET is the best tool available for J#.NET
