Dumbest Comment Ever
Do you read this website at all? Have you been under a rock the
past few years? Reading about MS flaws, bugs, and security
holes was a weekly routine and patching them is a way of life for
Windows users. That changed when MS decided to go with a
monthly security advisory -- I guess it got too tiring to report all
the issues each week.

A lot of Mac users think they're bullet-proof, but as is shown
with all OS's, none are impenetrable. Windows is the most flawed
and if you ever read this website you'd know that. Even a savvy
Windows user has to admit that. Ever hear of the Nimda or
Sasser worms? It's so bad on Windows MS is offering a big
bounty to catch hackers who write worms and virii. To say going
with a Windows box will make you safer is a dumb, misinformed
statement.

You can be the little Dutch boy trying to plug the holes in the
dike. Plug one, another opens. Knock your socks off. I'll deal
with a security issue once every blue moon.
