I didn't compare either one to the other or claim either was better than the other. They both have their uses where I'm concerned. I use both on a daily basis.
I simply said (in a round-about way) that Linux isn't as secure as a lot of people like to think or make others think. I'd say the same thing about Windows but there really isn't any opposition to that argument so it's pointless to even bring it up. That would be Pre-Vista of course... I don't know enough about Vista to say one way or another but hey... they claimed IE7 was all new and improved too didn't they. So did they just code in the same old bugs or lie about writing it from scratch this time around? The only person and argument you have to worry about starting a debate in this trhead would be Dave the Disruptor claiming the all mighty MAC supremecy. ;-) ..:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.
