I don't think so. There have been several cases posted on slashdot over the past few years where Microsoft knew about a security problem but did not or would not fix it for a long time. > If you're going to be that complacent, get an OS that nobody bothers > to write viruses for.) Now THAT is great advice. The reason that most of these virii and worms are on M$ software is probably not because they have the most insecure system, but rather because they so dominate the market share. If we had a much more diverse OS world, then these things would be less of a problem. -- "Erik Reuter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.erikreuter.net/ _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
