NSA Advises Upgrade To Windows 7

Posted by timothy on from the even-with-the-new-openbsd dept.

An anonymous reader writes "In a document available from the NSA (warning, PDF file), that organisation advises users to upgrade to Windows 7 as part of their Best Practice for Securing a Home Network. No mention of BSD or Linux so I guess the Slashdot crowd will just have to bite the bullet and change operating systems if they want to be really secure."

    Are Timothy and Kdawson different people, or merely alter egos?

    Which is not to mention that the NSA has done more to contribute to the security of the Linux kernel than they have (at least as far as is publicly acknowledged) done for Windows: SELinux.
