Open Letter to a Digital World

Posted by michael on from the no-one's-listening-la-la-la dept.

jg21 writes "Exasperated after spending 5 hours removing spyware and trojans from his wife's Windows PC, sysadmin Chris Spencer has written an impassioned Open Letter to a Digital World. In the letter he reviews the 'elephants in the closet' - i.e. unfixed bugs and glaring security vulnerabilities - that Microsoft in his view hopes ordinary users will ignore, including some discussed in previous Slashdot stories."

    The article truly sucks. The spyware angle is nothing more than a hook to get to some unimaginative "switch to Linux" stuff. On a site named Linuxworld that will really convince some people.

    Going more into detail about his 5 hours and what exactly is bad about windos and better on Linux would've been a much better article.
