if so then why has this "bunch of hackers" developed a virus free operating system? talking about OS if windows is developed by non-hackers who r very brillient then why are there unstability related issues and viruses
With all respect let me ask you this question.. Are u saying that gnu/Linux will always be virus free? IMO Micro$oft always thinks about generating business. There was a huge market for Windows and no competitors. Anything they build would be sold. If u can keep a hole in your software so that you can patch it later by charging more money you will only create more business. Personally, I never think developers in M$ are incapable to develop good software. Its just bad motives. Managers in M$ are always after money. With that motive you can't develop good softwares. With a wrong map you can never reach the right destination..
I try to explain this to people. I do this only because I think Linux is genuine. This is possible only with good motives. If you want ppl to switch to gnu/Linux, explain their motives. I will not be happy when I realise that I being cheated.
Please correct me if I am wrong because this is the list that inspired me to use gnu/Linux.
