You should try buying Windows 98 in Canada, its fucking overpriced. Somewhere between 300 and 400 dollars. Off-the-shelf linux tends to sell for around $69, although I'm not sure who is buying it.

If the customer had any security that was worth breeching, then its his/her responsibility to set up such security. There is a PLETHORA (quick go look it up) of linux security sites, as well as *BSD security sites. Just because $LINUX_VENDOR didn't ship an Advanced Security Wizard doesn't mean they are liable for the incompetence of a network administrator.
This guy must work for Microsoft, this AC seems to have taken this personally. Why don't you go read Windows Magazine or something, and turn off your "Internet Zone" browser from slashdot.org
"This could happen with any OS. Linux v2.4 will be out some time before RedHat completes a version of their own. Bugs could be found in the kernel before RedHat ships."
What the hell are you saying here? 2.4 is a major version leap. Currently RedHat ships with a 2.2 kernel. When 2.4 comes out, major changes will be necessary to implement it, such as XFree86 4.0. Also just because Microsoft has blurred the border between thier kernel and IIS/IE5/Shit doesn't mean you can do that with the Linux kernel and Linux distributions. I don't use RedHat but you Microsoft cheerleaders seem to think Linux!=RedHat, so I decided to browse some of RedHat's site (I don't use RedHat).
Currently, there are no Package Enhancements for Red Hat Linux 6.1
Redhat has a reputation for shipping misconfigured userland applications that lead to exploits, fortunately I don't rely on Redhat, or thier support, I have chosen my own distribution and have also chosen to take my own responsibility for what services I run and how the permissions are set. As a Slackware Linux user, I have no problem getting a new kernel and building it for my system, whereas Microsoft has taken to convincing its users that directories are really called folders, and that nasty things such as "partitions" and "hard disks" are really the same thing, -drive letters. Most professionals that run Linux know what they are doing, not like the fool who actually beleived the Micros~1 hype about Windows 1900 and are beginning to deploy it, knowing Micros~1 has turned a blind eye towards security, and has adopted the "Big Brother knows best" attitude. I doubt this will be the last bug in this "Enterprise Ready" OS, and with that IIS in the kernel, I can't wait till the next time Micros~1 has egg on thier face.

It seems thier "windoh's update" doesn't work well with non-Internet Explorer internet browsers.
Wow thanks for telling me about that hole that allows root access ! I'll get right on it! whoops I dont use corel linux!
I guess Linux != Corel Linux is wrong!

If the customer had any security that was worth breeching, then its his/her responsibility to set up such security. There is a PLETHORA (quick go look it up) of linux security sites, as well as *BSD security sites. Just because $LINUX_VENDOR didn't ship an Advanced Security Wizard doesn't mean they are liable for the incompetence of a network administrator.
This guy must work for Microsoft, this AC seems to have taken this personally.
Why don't you go read Windows Magazine or something, and turn off your "Internet Zone" browser from slashdot.org
"This could happen with any OS. Linux v2.4 will be out some time before RedHat completes a version of their own. Bugs could be found in the kernel before RedHat ships."
a -security.html
a -bugfixes.html
a -updates.html
What the hell are you saying here? 2.4 is a major version leap. Currently RedHat ships with a 2.2 kernel. When 2.4 comes out, major changes will be necessary to implement it, such as XFree86 4.0. Also just because Microsoft has blurred the border between thier kernel and IIS/IE5/Shit doesn't mean you can do that with the Linux kernel and Linux distributions. I don't use RedHat but you Microsoft cheerleaders seem to think Linux!=RedHat, so I decided to browse some of RedHat's site (I don't use RedHat).
http://www.redhat.com/support/errata/rh61-errat
hmm some lpr, bind, wuftpd, some apps, no kernel major security bugs here.
http://www.redhat.com/support/errata/rh61-errat
some userland packages, new version of apache, nope no major security hole bugs here
http://www.redhat.com/support/errata/rh61-errat
Currently, there are no Package Enhancements for Red Hat Linux 6.1
Redhat has a reputation for shipping misconfigured userland applications that lead to exploits, fortunately I don't rely on Redhat, or thier support, I have chosen my own distribution and have also chosen to take my own responsibility for what services I run and how the permissions are set.
As a Slackware Linux user, I have no problem getting a new kernel and building it for my system, whereas Microsoft has taken to convincing its users that directories are really called folders, and that nasty things such as "partitions" and "hard disks" are really the same thing, -drive letters. Most professionals that run Linux know what they are doing, not like the fool who actually beleived the Micros~1 hype about Windows 1900 and are beginning to deploy it, knowing Micros~1 has turned a blind eye towards security, and has adopted the "Big Brother knows best" attitude. I doubt this will be the last bug in this "Enterprise Ready" OS, and with that IIS in the kernel, I can't wait till the next time Micros~1 has egg on thier face.
