...and how many of these have been used for an successfull attack ?
Noone is saying that bugs dosen't exist in Linux (or any other OS)... we are just saying that they are usually fixed before they are exploited... where M$ often denies a bug's existence until it has been exploited...
Yeah rigt... wonderful...
Last time I tried that some of our mission critical applications went dead...
Since M$ system is so "well integrated" any update to allmost any component could sabotage something else... and some of those bloody security updates can't be uninstalled...
You must be bloody joking... I hope that you don't really belive that crap.
M$ has told all this every time they released (or announced) a new wersion.
How many times have we heard :
the new version will be more stable
the new version will be more secure
the new version will be easier to use
the new version will be more compatible
and they have not shown any really improvement... ...and btw. XP SP2 was supposed to be a part of this new security crap...
We aren't screaming 'cause it is pointless now,
monopolies aren't listning to customers.
We should have been screaming a long time ago, back in the early 90ties... but back then M$ didn't look like a serious threat.
We must learn from this disaster and make sure that someting like that never happens again... for I don't really think we will be able to repair the damage... ...and yes this has been a disaster, several companies are gone... some of the best ideas are dead... and any kind of resistence are erased (or at lest tried to be erased) from peoples minds
I've got a Linux magazine... on the first page i found an ad for Windows Server...
the whole thing reminds me of the Borg in TNG...

yep... but there is a small diff.: I'm getting much more sw. with Linux...
We bloody need a CD ROM drive 'cause some idiots in Redmond can't write small code...

Then I'll be sitting in front of a ThinkPad with OS/2 or a PowerBook instead of sitting in front of a PC running SuSE...
when did you have a BSOD ?
Windows ? SUPERIOR ??
Get Lost...
I hope NOT ! Who am I hating in that parallel dimension ?
That's not funny... that's tragical...
...and I'm having nightmares where I'm trying to kill BG...
...and bombing Redmond from the surface of earth...
