              Anyone ever here of Linux being raped by exploits and viruses as much as MS/IE is? It it just because there's less users or are there really that many more holes in MS products?

                  "Its growing popularity with companies and governments around the world, and particularly in Asia, is a threat to the global dominance of Microsoft's proprietary Windows platform."

                  Microsoft has now realized the treat over Linux

                      If linux had 1/1000th of the users I would be shocked. It's pretty easy to understand, dont ya think?

                                  Everything product Microsoft has sold since 1975 has either been hacked or modified.


                                  Microsoft sucks.

                                  There is no way Microsoft will ever be secure.

                                  I know for a fact Russian hackers have the full source code for WIN 95.
