I'll try and appeal to your regret ;) The reason that I don't advise people to use Linux* or *BSD is that anyone who might benefit from those systems already knows it, and doesn't need any advice. They already know enough to know that the core of the problem is in the Microsoft OS, browser and related apps. But, for the vast majority of people out there, they are faced with all sorts of conflicting opinions as to what the problem is. They chose Windows because it was the simplest thing going. They are not going to install an open source solution even if you pay them for it; they are the people who have real lives, real jobs, and real families on which to spend their short days. (personally I use FreeBSD, and would use a Mac if I could get a laptop with a thinkpad keyboard.) iang _______________________________________________ Mozilla-security mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/mozilla-security
