A story that attacks MS, Linux and Security
After attacking MS for what is an well acknowledged
security position the author found it necessary to have a go
at Linux "fundamentalists" and security "nutters". I struggle
with the relevance of these two groups with the trust of the
story.

"Their cousins in the security world are a similar brand of
nutter. The ones who say "just change all your workstations
and servers to [insert name of operating-system-that-isn't-
Windows here]" like it's actually a feasible idea."

Changing OS might not always be feasible, but
securing windows never is.
