"Independence Air..... found that with Linux they had to rely on consultants to tell them if their system was secure or not, while in the case of Windows, they could depend on Microsoft to inform them and provide the necessary updates." Yeah, that will work. Remind me never to fly on Independence Air! |

Hmmm.
Or in other words, Linux consultants told us stuff we didn't understand and claimed this Linux was secure, but, since we know nothing about IT, we couldn't be sure. Whereas with Windows we know it will never be secure so we don't need to pay consultants to tell us stuff we don't understand.
And when something goes wrong we can shrug and say "bloody Windows" and it's Microsofts' fault. |

salparadise: ever notice how much your typical windows admin knows about the theoretical underpinnings of his O/S? This type of "wisdom" presented here plays right into their mind-set. |
