Security Isn't Just Avoiding Microsoft
Jay Singala noted a story which points out "It's time for all the people who have entertained this fantasy to stop deluding themselves.
How would life without Microsoft be different? It wouldn't be in any meaningful way for those in charge of network security; there would just be a different vendor peddling the dominant operating system."
How would life without Microsoft be different?
WHY DON'T YOU TRY IT AND FIND OUT?
On desktops, I run myself and have administered studios of Macs 24/7 (at least 50 machine years or more) and I've seen no malware of any description since the 1980s. How's your Windows experience compare with that, numbskull?
On servers, I run Linux, Solaris 10, and even SunOS 4 for a year or two, for perhaps 100-200 server years (haven't counted them lately), on the public internet, with zero security incidents. Like those apples?
The options have always be there. Just use them and FIND OUT FOR YOURSELF what the difference from the Microshit ghetto is.
Life's too short for Microcrap.
you had me at #!
