More secure?  steve_jonesuk@... | 08/07/09
Can you provide us with some (any) evidence to sustain you claims?  InAction Man | 04/13/09
Yeah  Lerianis | 04/14/09
That's not proof  hasta la Vista, bah-bie | 04/14/09
Don't show your ignorance...  Marty R. Milette | 04/14/09

Here is your evidence  ckl_88 | 04/14/09
OK, but do you have anything Linux related?  InAction Man | 04/14/09
Actually Linux was the survivor...  awasson@... | 04/14/09
sorry, charlie ... FICTION, not "truth"  tahoe_blue | 04/14/09
Dude, if you have problems just using any modern OS.  deowll | 04/14/09
the issue is security, not navigational preference  tahoe_blue | 04/14/09
Has SP2 for Vista been released yet? (nt)  ye | 04/13/09
Officially... No  NStalnecker | 04/13/09
Then I find it odd he would say:  ye | 04/13/09
I think Windows has reached a point  Michael Kelly | 04/13/09
well said... the MS business model has created a couple  brokndodge@... | 04/13/09
I don't even necessarily think MS needs to certify the software  Michael Kelly | 04/13/09
thats the point...  brokndodge@... | 04/13/09
I am a Linux Newbie, and I still prefer Windows at this time  BroGnorik | 04/13/09

What does that have to do with anything?  tmsbrdrs | 04/19/09
Try Secunia Personal Software Inspector  markbn | 04/13/09
I have tried that  Michael Kelly | 04/13/09
Re; Secunia. I do agree there. It is not the same as  hkommedal | 04/14/09
Secunia is great, but...  martian@... | 04/15/09
You don't need to be admin in Vista to run Secunia`  markbn | 04/22/09
A central repository and patch system in Windows would be great  T1Oracle | 04/13/09
Unfortunately I agree  Michael Kelly | 04/13/09
It exists  LiquidLearner | 04/13/09
Could it be a control issue?  Michael Kelly | 04/13/09
You're kinda muddling two things together  de-void | 04/13/09
Open Source = quicker patching? NO!  Lerianis | 04/13/09
Broken or insecure?  Michael Kelly | 04/13/09
Lets not forget that  T1Oracle | 04/13/09
i'll provide an example for him...  brokndodge@... | 04/13/09
agreed, a number of projects (including my own file butler)  brokndodge@... | 04/13/09
M$ won't do that  hasta la Vista, bah-bie | 04/14/09
