Your premise that GNU-Linux or FreeBSD "would be just as vulnerable" as Windows if these OS were the most prevalent is categorically wrong, and "not supported by any facts" - as is usual for a Microsoft apologist. For example, Apache with Linux/Unix runs more than 68% of Internet web sites, compared to Microsoft's IIS/Windows approximately 18 percent - as corroborated by Netcraft and other authoritative, non-partisan entities, yet the former incur less than two percent of internet vulnerabilities as compared to IIS/Windows that account for more than ninety percent. Furthermore, studies by the National Security Agency (NDA), Cert.org, W3C plus found that Windows - even in lock-down mode is less secure that standard Linux from RedHat, Engard, Suse 11 Desktop, FreeBSD desktop configuration and other more reputable distros. I never cease to be amazed as how stupid many computer users are in not knowing the facts or accepting truth. W. Anderson wanderson@kimalcorp.org
