First, OpenBSD is a flavor of Unix, not Linux. The difference is significant. Second, those independent studies you mentioned are probably the same ones that Microsoft loves to advertise, and those are mostly funded by Microsoft. Yes, the security firms doing the studies are independent, but nobody likes to slap the hand that feeds you. ------------ This transmission may contain information that is privileged, confidential and/or exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
