joke?

If that wasn't a joke, you're retarded.

Perfect bug free programs are impossible to guarantee, yes, that's true. Congratulations for making this brilliantly original observation. Thanks for the contribution.

The fact that there are applications which run on multiple operating systems has nothing to do with bugs in operating systems. Whether or not this is the case doesn't give or take away from the relevance of OS bugs.

Exploits don't spread.

According to this article, this exploit can potentially do damage. Whether or not "most" exploits can do damage is clearly irrelevant. I'll take the author's word over yours. Also I think the biggest concern isn't on idiots blindly running kazaa trash and porn, but on legitimate looking documents from forged emails and such.

Your decision on an OS based on how young it is is not only childish, but wrong. If you date linux back to the start of GNU, it began in 1984. If you date it to the start of the Linux kernel (more reasonable), then it's 1991.

Vista is just a pretty update to windows, it's not a revolutionary new OS. Windows started either with MS-DOS (81) or NT (93). Note though that these are the release dates, not when development started, so assuming that development for a widescale OS release by microsoft started more than 2 years before it was released, windows is older than linux on both measures. Mac's are even older. So basically, you're an idiot. No more talky. Pwnt.
