if you think I want to buy windows. My post clearly states that your list of "exploits" includes vulnerabilities for packages that ARE CLEARLY NOT THE LINUX OS.

That is in no way denying that Linux may have some exploits to use on vulnerabilities that have already been addressed with patches, but I am stating one more time THAT COMPARING THIS TO WINDOWS IS AN OLD AND TIRED LIE. Windows is clearly riddled with them. And when you add (we can't say IE as that's the OS now) MS Office, Media Player and the soon to be included MS "security" suites, you have hundreds of thousands of exploits and an unknown number of currently existing vulnerabilities.

Keep trying. Some idiot might believe you. I think you can rest assured that Loverock agrees completely with this lie.
