hi all,
When people in security speak of Gates's products, they sneer. It's a fact: Microsoft has never been a particularly secure platform, but then, these products have historically not needed to be secure.
Microsoft products should not be subjected to the same scrutiny as UNIX products because they are in a different class. Despite this fact, many people ridicule Microsoft products. They subject such products to rigorous tests, knowing that the products cannot pass. Then they parade the negative results across the Net, "proving" that Microsoft's security is weak and lackluster.
What we fail to realise is that there are millions of people out there who are not computer savvy and i am sure if u take a general poll people would opt for windows over linux.
So whether windows or linux, remember that each was made for a particular class of users and we have to put ourselves in other's shoes too to pass judgement on a product.
Regards, Prem.
