Graph of Linux Vs. Windows System Calls

Posted by kdawson on from the linguini-or-angel-hair dept.

cgrayson recommends Richard Stiennon's blog on ZDNet — a post titled Why Windows is less secure than Linux shows a compelling graphical comparison between system calls on the two operating systems. The blogger tips Sana Security for the images. Quoting: "In its long evolution, Windows has grown so complicated that it is harder to secure... [T]hese images... are a complete map of the system calls that occur when a web server serves up [the same] single page of [HTML] with a single picture."

    Well, yes, actually, slashdot is out of touch. This and many other stories accepted lately are coming from readers of reddit.com, a very useful site for news that's interesting.

    www.google.com seems to not work. Neither is www.gmail.com. I'm in the UK. It's been like this for about an hour - never had this problem before.

    I feel I should warn you that your name here on Slashdot has become synonymous with idiotic posts. We all keep seeing it, sat above your feeble minded rants against Microsoft, like a rabid, AIDs riddled dog, slumped in a pool of its own diahorrea and vomit, and roll our eyes. I suggest you sign up under a new username to avoid further embarrassment.
