Story: Gates takes a side-swipe at Apple, Linux security
Gates is using the sensible defensive strategy: go on the offensive. His claims can't be proven but make for a good distraction.
The bottom line is that the e-mail virus problem on Windows hasn't been solved in how many years now? Eight?. So I don't see the progress that he is talking about.
Hearing Bill one would think that no one works on anything else but Microsoft products. But the question remains: Which is the better model in defense against viruses: a closed proprietary
system or an open one? I put my money on openness.
