Story: Linux vendors hit back at Ballmer's email

The last comments sound like something that someone who either works for Microsoft or has never tried open source would say. I have had several computer novices give different pieces of open source software, commonly OOo and Mozilla offerings but also Linux, a shot. The most common response is that the open source software is actually easier to use and more intuitive than the Microsoft products. As for security, if you are so sure a 50/50 mix would render open source software so much less secure than Microsoft's offerings, why is Apache - which has a majority share of the market - more secure than Microsoft's counterpart offering?
