Well, duh.
Germs exist on all types of food. Does that mean that you don't
differentiate between food you've prepared yourself on relatively
clean surfaces and food that you've pulled out of a dumpster?
Flaws exist. Yawn. I referred to those who have been burned by those
flaws. Do you wanna cite some examples of companies being burned by
Linux security flaws? The list of Microsoft flaws that have cost
billions of dollars to companies is well known and documented
(Melissa, anyone?), but I'd like to hear about those who have paid
dearly for choosing Linux.
