Security Isn't Just Avoiding Microsoft

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the foil-hats-also-required dept.

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."

  1. Seriously, editors... ENOUGH ALREADY by freeweed · · Score: 5, Interesting

    This is the 3rd or 4th story in as many days that positively SCREAMS troll.

    1. Find a common belief of Slashdot
    2. Whine and bitch about "Slashdot bias" while not even understanding the point
    3. When you don't get modded high enough for your complaining, find some blog that agrees with you
    4. Get story linked to on Slasdot
    4a. In this case, not even a link
    5. Page Hits

    Editors, I know you love to drive ad revenue by putting up these blatant trolls (OMG How Can I Love Open Source Without Copyright? If I Don't Like The RIAA I MUST Hate RMS!!!!!One!), but the joke's on you - most of us who respond to these out of annoyance run adblock.

    Can we try for some actual stories now?
