This is poor journalism. This Agility Alliance was obviously hoping that because you have big names allied together telling you to believe that GNU/Linux is insecure that the corporate world will listen regardless of lack of proof or facts presented.

You can hardly blame them because the media has spend so many years dumbing down the quality of news that they figure people believe anything said with out reading and doing our own research.

There are still people who trust the government to protect the country. Haha! Especially after seeing that they would sacrifice innocent lives and choose violence over communication even in 2005! Pre-emption and defense are not the same.

Not to get too much off topic but open source represents more than just software. It is the philosophy that must survive even if Linux doesn't; the basic human right to work among a community and Self-govern is something that the wealthiest and most powerful would like to see a demise of. Capitalism and Democracy have nice dictionary definitions yet the practices of so-called Capitalists and Politicians are highly contradictory if only we read between the lines. Corruption is most effective when people are complacent. I urge everyone to wake up before we lose it all.

And for those who think this is a joke i have one more thing to say: I'm not hiding from death or the truth because even if I my life is short it still ends on my terms not the $laveMa$ter's.
