It depends on how the code is written, but I'll agree that most bloated code is written in great haste, with no attention at all given to the many holes that are opened by all those millions of extra lines of deadwood. > As has been shown time and time again in Microsoft-sponsored studies > comparing Windows to Linux.

But more people attack Windows, so more holes are found and exploited. Linux is rapidly catching up. And Mac OS X isn't immune, although I suspect that almost all the holes being found in OS X are in Apple's code, not the base OS. -- Anthony _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
