wrong , wrong , wrong ...
hiya!
Wrong , wrong , wrong ... I have the distinct feeling columnists like yourself get so caught up in their writing style that they 'actually believe' the trype their purveying ... Whew! Did it ever occur to you that WINDOWZ users , by nature , are just plain lazy ??? I imagine , much to the chagrine of large corporate types , that the security breaches their Windows users show , while in their midst ... must lead to quite a few sleepless (cyber)nights ... The security details you refer to in your article are there for just that ... for security ... Any Linux user , ?professional? or not , can be thankful for this extra level of security when dealing with sensitive files ... Unix based , or not , Linux security features are a perfect fit for corporate communications ...
