Story: How to talk to Microsoft about Linux
Posted by: kre (Thursday 25 May 2006, 6:44 PM)
this is the first time ive posted here, i dont know if you need to quote people or whatnot.. but the comment about windows having more security problems because it is more common!? what kind of reasoning is that? sure if you are talking about script kids trying to break into as many computers in a day as they can, that makes sense.. but, on the other hand, if you are talking about people really getting in and FINDING exploits the figures always show that there are far fewer in the linux world.. and in converse to your reasoning that is purely BECAUSE it is open source.. it is surely analogous to an open society having less to fear because everybody already knows what is going on and is able to combat problems head on, as opposed to a completely closed system where people are left in the dark and hoping that the problem will be fixed in the next automatic update (which will probably break more than it fixes).
