Dirty and clean secrets

I would like to ask all the poor fellows who have to support
all the MS PCs everytime a new virus/worm/vulnerability
shows up and then they have to stay up all night to patch
once more the 100s or 1000s of their systems.

A recent article claimed a 55 BILLION$$$ cost of the last
year's viruses.

If you think that the code with Linux was spaghetti then I
would like to see the code for the same large scale
distributed application written for the ms windwoes
platform. I don't think that the VB wizard can help there.

The 'little secret' with the Unix/Linux platforms is that if
you follow basic s/w design and developments techniques
and common sense you can avoid the spaghetti code and
you will have a robust, efficient and secure system that can
stay up and operational for YEARS.

Had you known anything about s/w development on the
Unix/Linux platforms, you wouldn't make thess kinds of
unintelligent remarks. I am sure you must be wishing MS to
put clippy in the .net ide to help out 'developers' like you.

cheers and clippy on.
