    It seems that people neglect to mention the fact that countless times a week announcements are made that some piece of Open source software has a security hole in it which will allow root access to some fat slob in a basement somewhere. Each OS has its problems and really you choose based on what you need, not the fact that 1 percent of the media out there might try to get you to install some search bar on your internet explorer.
