So let's say we've got even less... How about .05% of the internet
population (900 million or so) that tries TB. That's about 45,000
people. Let's say 95% of them are experienced users which leaves us
with 2,250 of the clueless.
I'm giving you the most benefit of the doubt here. I'm basically
saying that out of 900 million or so internet users *only* 45,000 of
them would install TB. Then again, I'm giving you the benefit of the
doubt by saying that 95% of them are experienced enough and understand
internet protocol and security enough to not open themselves up to a
security hole. This leaves us with 2,250 who would.
Tell you what... Do some reading on why the internet as a whole is
considered a huge security sieve. You'll find the common denominator
is that the internet was designed to be open. Security was an
afterthought. RITLabs is building from the ground up with security as
the forethought. I applaud them for it, and even though TB does have
deficiencies in certain areas (IMAP), I will always be a loyal
customer to RITLabs because they aren't writing just another piece of
software to further the security nightmare that the internet is.
