1. Comment - Anti-MS Group Aims to Block Vista

   I am a fan of Linux but, I have to agree that if Linux had the same customer base that Windows does it would have the hackers attention. Everybody can make abig splash in a puddle but how many people will notice? On hte other hand make a big enough splash in the ocean and more will notice it. Hacking or viruses only get noticed if enough people are looking at it like with Windows not like linux.

   Say what? A Republican sounds like a dumba** Democrat? Do you even have clue what you are talking about?

   I suggest that if you are going to block the sale of something that is inherently defective you might try condoms. There is no such thing as a secure condom yet we as men wear them all the time to have sex. Thus giving ourselves a false sense of security. This costs men and women lots of money every year. There are men out there who had sex while wearing a condom yet the woman got pregnant and now the man is paying child support, not the condom manufacturer who sold the defective condom. How about your car? No recalls? Your cheap DVD player still working after the ninety day warranty?
   Now for my most disgusting attempt to shock you into understanding the problems of programmers.
   
   Keep in mind most of the men and women working on Windows are creating something, not trying to destroy it, so they are not thinking of ways to attack it. However, there is a team of people whose job it is to break it, they find and fix what they can. What they are in fact up against is teams of people with nothing but time to work on a single way of breaking Windows. Now for the non-Winodws example of what I am saying: In 1966 work began on two large building designed to withstand fire, earth quakes, high winds even being rocked by an explosion. However, the architect who designed and built these buildings did not forsee that terrorists would sieze a 767 and a 757 Jet airliner and crash them into the buildings and after relatively short time both buildings collapsed killing thousands. Is Minoru Yamasaki, the architect, guilty of building defective buildings? How many times wwere pipes fixed in the towers? How many times was the wiring worked on? These are all examples of bug fixes and patches. I am sorry if my mention of the trade center towers offends anyone or disturbs them, I just believe we don't think of things Microsoft does in a true world light. I have am not a MS employee nor am I strictly a Windows user. I am in fact preparing to install two linux servers in my company because they are cheaper than Windows.
   Please consider what other software out there is released and show me any that have not need patches and bug fixes.
