Windows Monoculture Myopia Revisited

round stic writes "eWeek magazine has an interesting look at the effects of the Windows monoculture on IT budgets, even as everyone agrees on the severity of the inherent security risks. The article contains interviews with Dan Geer and others who warned about the risks of the Windows monopoly three years ago. The article coincides with a piece in the Observer that suggests Vista is the end of the Microsoft monolith because of how complex the operating system has become."

The meta-amusing part about the whole "flying spaghetti monster" satire is that it has very little to do with the Judeo-Christian beliefs it means to deride. There is nothing in any biblical writing that describes what God looks like, other than that man is "in his image". Artists have rendered their impressions of God as an old man with a long white beard, but they might as well put a red hat on him and call him Santa Claus because none of it is biblical. Mythological works, on the other hand, describe their gods' physical attributes in detail: carries a big hammer, has a dog head, extra arms (although not always the same number), etc.

Don't even get me started with Anglo-Jesus and winged, female angels.
