That is about all that I can stand! It is simply FUD, and not very good either!

I am not a Microsoft sympathizer, but I would like to know if YOU YOURSELF have
read ever line of the current Linux kernel code. Oh, and how about all those
nifty utility programs that you need to even do anything useful on a Linux
system.

Also, what do have to say about the US Navy using Windows NT 4.0 to fully
control the new battleships? I am talking communications, navigation, and weapon
control. Sure, it had to be towed back to port once :), but they did work the
bugs out eventually.

Yes, Linux is more secure than any version of Windows, but spreading crap like
this is not the way to help Linux. It just shows your own ignorance and
childishness.
