Linux and Windows Security Neck and Neck

Posted by Zonk on from the no-losers dept.

Linurati writes "According to vnunet.com, Linux and Windows are neck and neck when it comes to security, but 'misleading figures and surveys are muddying the waters.' The article lays blame on both sides for the misleading information." From the article: "...Microsoft had made real progress on security in the past two years, but that the increasing number of Linux enthusiasts coming into the market would help the open source alternative in the long run."

    Oh, sure, since that rule makes sense to you maybe you should start saying:
    foxen
    taxen
    sexen
    axen
    sixen
    mixen
    hexen
    etc.

    I agree with the other poster. Stop trying to push your selective-yet-hard-and-fast rules on the English language, retard. Anyone who uses the word "boxen" in a post deserves an immediate (-1: pretentious wanker) moderation. Same goes for "M$".

    Huh? "hard-and-fast"?

    I'm not trying to push any rules on anyone. On the contrary, it seems that in English the only rule is that there are no rules.

    I'm just saying, if you can accept ox->oxen, child->children, brother->brethren, then box->boxen has a precedent, and bitching about people using it is stupid.
