But I do have a problem with the idea of Open Source operating system; maybe someone can clarify this for me. If Microsoft has such a problem with people hacking into the loopholes of their closed source code, what type of malicious viruses will we begin seeing if an Open Source Operating system such as Linux becomes the dominant OS?
